I don't see no adjustment for horizontal.... in fact, I've never owned a vehicle where you can adjust the headlight beam's left-to-right.

Got it.

Thanks.

The 97-03 and previous years could be adjusted up/down, right/left. Just not 04 up.

I had a 2000 Lariat Scab and I never knew that.

Interesting indeed...

Thanks.

Not on the 04 up. Even states it in the owners manual.

That's awesome!

Too bad, though, that I refuse to buy anything off Ebay due to a recent family experience that left a foul taste in my mouth.

Why isn't that tool available anywhere else?

Update:

I got the SnapOn tool that highridin4x4 mentioned earlier this week. It was $25.18 delivered.

Just had a chance to use it and it works like a charm. Like any/every other SnapOn tool, it's built quality.

Highly recommend it.
