Low Beam/High Beam adjustments

[hoorders]

First off, my rig is a 2000 ECSB 1500 Z71.

 

Do the high Beams have seperate adjustments for aiming them or is it just one adjustment for the entire light assembly?

 

I noticed the other night, there was some fog out, when I clicked my high beams on, the passenger side one looked like it shot across the lane on a 45 degree angle into the oncoming lane.

There are two adjustment screws for each headlamp assembly. Obviously there is one to control the high beams and one to control the low beams.

I think there are two adjustments. One for left right, one for up down. I do not believe the hi and low beams are separately adjustable.

The adjustment screws are for up and down, left and right. The headlamp housing is a one-piece unit so any changes made with the screws affects both high and low beam in that housing.

Before you go and try adjusting the housing, you could simply have a defective bulb. The glass element could be mounted at a strange angle to the housing. Since the standard bulbs are pretty cheap at about $6-7, I'd try a new set.

 

If the bulbs are OK though, always aim the housings while on low-beams. Service manuals usually have some information on how to properly perform the aiming.

hahhah, I tried to adjust mine the other day, and what I thought looked perfect against the wall, was totally different on the highway... i had pointed both lights at the oncoming drivers (even worst when I had my atv in the back)

 

So, i went about fixing this, and now my lights are higher then stock, but not unreasonable, and they are both pointed to the right of the center line (not towards the left at all)

 

trucks still flash me, and I don't know why. DO truckers hate when people drive with their fog lights on when not foggy? cause that's the only thing I can think of... i've got the 6 high mod, so the fogs are on all the time. I just can't seem to figure out why the truckers keep flashing me.

Ive always heard people say stuff about ones who have their fog lights on when its not foggy out..ive heard some say its bright in their eyes. personally it doesnt bother me when someone who has them on and are passing in the opposite direction..its your truck, you paid for it and if you want them on turn em on..

Hi eros--I've noticed, driving at night, that the fog lights on a lot of SUVs, and pickups, are adjusted too high, and shine up into oncoming drivers eyes. It may be your fogs, rather than low beams, that have the truckers flashing.--Frank Sub
