Headlight adjustment - Diesel Forum

Two questions regarding headlights:

1. Will 2006/2007 YM headlights pop in on my 2003 without having to do the front end replacement nonsense? I like the looks of that model headlight better than mine.

2. Anybody know what the specs are for adjusting the headlights? It's in the manual how to do it but after installing X-code springs they're shining too high. How do you know how far down to angle them?

Yes and no... You have to do some minor triming around the header panel for the headlights to fit. I had a nice link that showed how it is done but it is not there anymore...

They are adjusted by a external torque nut on top of the headlight... not sure if that is the correct terminology...

Thanks Layson. I found this link, oddly enough, in a post of yours on a different website:
King Kustoms of Temecula,CA - "Two Thousand & FIVE" Truck!
Is that what you're talking about? That link is for a complete front-end conversion though. I just want to swap headlights. I hope I don't have to take off my bumper b/c it weighs about 300 pounds!! I think I can get what I need from that link, though.
