Where is the up/down adjustment for the headlight? Is there like a gauge level or something build-in around the headlight?

Perhaps this past thread can help out some. Let us know if it's sufficient and works for you.

I saw that adjustment on the HL, is there no adjustment that makes it move left/right? headlight I dont want get those confused... Plus there no level meter?

Hmm, I've never messed with my headlights so I can't say, but perhaps one of the other members has done it and can chime in.

I mess with it, it is the same knob in the older models of HL, it does go up/down... Wrench setting to clockwise is down, and vice versa. It does not seem to have a level meter, so I just mark it with factory setting then begin to adjust it.

Hope this help others out there.

There is no level marker.
Park on level ground 25' away from a wall. The center of the headlight is roughly 35" from the ground (measure your vehicle just to be sure. Mines was 35"). At the wall, the beam should be at 33". Mines from stock was 37" so it was definitely off from stock. There is no left/right adjustment.

Thank you so much for that info!

By law there is no left/right adjustment, only up/down.
