2013 jk horizontal headlight adjustment???
has anyone found a way around this?? I just got a pair of trucklite phase 6 headlights and it is clear how much its needed I'm considering adding a washer to tilt the lights outward but i dont know if it will be too drastic. If anyone has fixed this or has an idea on how to adjust this please let me know

There is a small torq bit screw in the 1 to 2 o'clock position on the driver side and 10 to 11 o'clock position on the passenger. You have to take the grille off to adjust.

If you take the headlight housing rings out and remove one of the pivot points you can replace it with another adjustable screw. I bought them from the dealership for like six dollars. Now i can adjust my lights up down left and right to get them exactly how i want them. If you look at the grill arround the headlight you can see where there is another recess in the plastic like there was suposed to be two adjustment screws anyway.

I just used a piece of black electrical tape to make a shim and it has been working perfectfor the last several thousand miles. The biggest pain was setting them up in the dark as I wanted them set perfect. I like the screw idea as it would be more conveniant that is for sure. Not sure why they don't have the horizontal adj from the factory but I was told it was because they are designed for automatic adjusters but we just never got them.

So The screws didnt work on my 2013 or maybe I was doing something wrong but what I ened up doing is just doing the tape thing I used a piece of tape about 5 inches long and just overlapped it till it was about 1/4 inch thick and taped it on the inside used a razor blade to trim as needed and then screwed the light in
