I believe there is a rotator on top of your headlight motor. If memory serves me correctly, you should be able to adjust the final stopping point with this. Its under a black cover.

WARNING! Disconnect the battery before you start fiddling with the ****. Otherwise after a couple of turns the headlights will flip up, then down, and when your hand is right next to the light it'll scare the **** outta you.

The **** is red, with little arrows on it. Good luck.

Actually you're right. So look for the black boot and under that is of course the dial. Mine was always falling off though so I never put them back on..

Actually your all wrong. That dial you guys are talking about do nothing for adjusting them. That is just for manual lifting them incase your motor dies. If you twist this ****, the headlight assembly will just go back to its original place once you turn them on and off one time.


To adjust the headlights, you have to take off the shroud and there are some screws you loosen or tighten depending on how you want to move the light.

Well thats for adjusting the actual light but you can only adjust it so much with those. This is for adjusting how far the the motor can flip the light up. But I never tried it so...?
