Well after going mid perch the dealership adjusted my headlights, however they are way too low now. Tonight was the first time I've driven in the dark and I can barely see about 25 yards ahead of me. The dealership is 3 hours drive, so I'd prefer to handle it locally. Is this something I can do myself? Does anyone have any experience adjusting them? Thanks in advance

Each headlight has an adjustment screw on it that's pretty easy to find. Pull up to a wall flip the lights on and adjust to your liking.

Thank you!

I can't, it's really bugging me. Plus if something were in the road and I was driving at a decent speed I wouldn't see it in time to move. They are adjusted way too low

I'd take it back and ask if they were training in a newbie.

I wish I could but it was up at the ford store near San Jose so it's like a 3 hour drive for me! Oh well, looks like I get to figure this think out myself .
