I am not too bright... how to aim '98 K1500 headlights...

[BoxMN]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to lower my headlight aiiming on my 98 k1500. I see the torx screws that I think should be the adjustments, but when I turn them they don't lower or raise. I tried this when it was new, and didn't work then, and just gave up. 13 years later, I am finally sick of it... doh! hahaha!

How the heck do you adjust the headlight on this vehicle? Do I need to loosen something first, then adjust? Thanks very much for any advice. I know am not the smartest bulb on the tree but this is killin me...

My best advice is swing buy a body shop. They will have the headlight alignment tools and get it right on they way it should be and for less than you might expect. Yeah, i know you could mess around in the drive way shining them on the garage dour for a couple of hours but they will never be where they should be. It will take the body shop guys ten minutes to align them.

Ha! You are right. I should have done that 13 years ago, haha!

Good advice, once again. Thanks.

It would be a good idea to spray the adjusters with some penetrating lubricant a time or two before you go. If they havent ever been done before they are likely going to be tough to turn, and it may save a broken or stripped adjuster.

i have a 1997 with the same problem. the passenger light shines way up and to the right. useless for driving. perfect for seeing the tops of telephone poles at night.

Adjusters are probably busted if you turn them and nothing happens.
