headlight adjustment
I'm looking for information on the proper adustment of headlights for a '97 F150 4x4. I've increased truck tire size which raised the headlights. Now passing motorists think I have the high beams on. Thanks for any help.

The outside post on your headlites is the adjustment post you need .To adjust the vertical postion of the headlites, turn it till you lower the lites.Use a garage door or some kind of wall. Get as close to it as you can to adjust, evenly.I`m not sure which way you need turn the adjusting screw. Try clockwise first. I hope this will help you. Your friend.... LARIAT 1 .
