How do I adjust headlights? 24 XL

[ThumperF150]

OK, previous models have an obvious Philips head screw to adjust headlights up and down.

Mine do not have that. They each have a 10mm bolt that goes horizontally towards the headlight housings. The bolt is covered with a plastic half dome cover with what I will describe as a small chimney or vent on top.

Does that cover need to be removed first? It looks like it is locked or clipped on.

YT videos do not show 24s

TIA

You see my photos right? There is no Philips head screw on mine.

Yes, that's exactly where you insert the Philip screwdriver. Turn it counterclockwise to lower headlight. See attached video. At approx. 50 seconds into the video it shows how to do it.

As you can see, we have the same truck. Try it first......

What do you suggest I try it on?

My truck does not have that Philips screw.

Im not trying to be difficult but it is just not there.

If we have the same truck, do you also have the covered bolt like mine?

Thanks

Have you tried putting the Phillips in the hole? Did you see the video I uploaded?

 

[Rinn69]

Yes, I have the same EXACT thing. Stick the #2 Phillips screwdriver in that hole, and twist. You're making this waaaaaaaaaaay harder than it is. If you look closely, you'll see a white gear in the hole.

I’ll be leveling my 24. So you are saying that you stick your Philips screwdriver in that hole, and the blades on the Philips screwdriver will engage with the cogs on that gear?.?

Yes, once you insert the screwdriver into the hole it will engage the gears. Turn the screwdriver counterclockwise to lower your beam pattern.
