When you want to adjust your head lights down after a leveling kit it says turn the adjusting screw anti clock wise. So is it anti clock wise looking from the front of the truck or looking from behind, looking from the drivers seat.

Thanks.

P.S Going to screw with it tonight when it gets dark.

 

Without having my truck (and wrench) in front of me, it's hard to say. I can say that it will be very apparent when you try it when it's darker outside. Just make sure you count the number of turns so if you go in the wong direction, you can get back to zero easily. Remember, when you turn that screw, you're moving the reflector inside the housing, not the housing itself.

Here's another hint. When you think you've got them right, check to make sure both lights are level. To do this, turn your lights on and walk about 30 feet out in front of your truck. Face the truck and slowly bend down looking at the headlights. They should both "get bright" at the same time. They're not actually getting brighter, but you will be looking at the "cutoff" point in the pattern. If one "gets bright" before the other, that light is aimed higher.

 

Please don't make it harder than it is.

Counter clock wise is ALWAYS a left turn, doesn't matter what direction you are facing... LOL!

Anyway you look at it.... turn to the left. Counter clock wise.... get it?

 

Dude if you do that you can be turning it the wrong way. Think about what you just said. Or better yet do what you said and you will see the error of your comment.
Turning it anti clock wise viewed from the front (looking at truck) is turning it clock wise viewed from the opposite side.
Thanks for your insight ford2004F150.

Thanks for nada. Will figure it out tonight.

 

Just aim them at a fixed wall or garage door and start turning the screw. You'll figure it out quick enough.

 

Is this confusing or what??

 

So would anti clock wise upside down to the left be like counter clock wise right way up to the right if it were a sunny day with a wind at 8mph on a leap year before 3 beers.

 

 

Only for you mortals!

PS. Its anti clock wise looking from the front of the truck.

 

any time someone says to turn a screw anti-clockwise (AKA counter-clockwise) it is in reference to looking at the screw head. So for a headlight adjustment screw, it is probably in reference to a drivers view... since the adjustment screw head is on the engine side of the headlight.

to be clear (someone should be)... if you are standing in front of the vehicle and turning a screw on the back of the headlight, you will be turning the screwdriver clockwise. Clockwise to you will be counter-clockwise to the screw.

wait... was that clear??? I give up... just turn the damn screw and watch which way the light beam moves

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA

"Dude" as long as you're looking at the head of the screw, there can only be 1 counter-clockwise direction. If you're looking from the bottom, then it'd be the opposite direction.

If you don't believe me, draw a little counter-clockwise arrow on a sheet of paper, then, WITHOUT turning the paper over, orient it however you'd like see if the arrow changes directions

Yall just don't get it. If you stand behind the clock ,time goes backwards (anti-time).

Honestly, what is anti-clockwise? If you refernece the twist from the bottom of the bolt, your frame of reference is incorrect.

Reference everything in proper manner for help. It is just plain confusing to explain what you are trying to do without it.

BTW: I still think it is the coriolis effect.

Yes this is true. But when it pertains to the screw that adjusts your headlight all that is true is not always right! Check out what the owners manual says.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then use a 4 mm
socket/wrench to turn the adjuster
either counterclockwise (to adjust
down) or clockwise (to adjust up)
aligning the upper edge of the light
pattern up to the horizontal line.

Now go out to your truck and put your theory to the test. Turn the screw anti clock wise (counterclockwise) looking at the head of the screw and see if your headlight adjusts down as per the instructions! Now im willing to bet you will not try this. Cus you will see your wrong in your assumption!

Ohhhhhh yeaaaaaa who's your Daddy now bitch!!! LMAO

 

just turn the steering wheel to the left a little before you start, and they will be easier to adjust

 

Hmm. Never saw anywhere to turn anti-clockwise either.

PWNED !

... and go make me a sandwich ...
