My new headlights came in today!! They look awesome. Cant wait to get it in the sun tomorrow and take more pics. I also went with new Bulbs. I installed Sylvania ZXE bulbs. I need to adjust the headlights. Can someone tell me how to level the headlights? they need to be pointed up more.

also pic of the lights hitting the garage. The right side of the pic is the new headlight and bulb. The left side is the old headlight and bulb. You can tell its much brighter and a little more of a whiter light looks good

I believe the owners manual should give decent instructions on how to level your lights.

FYI Marauder headlights are only adjustable vertically not horizontally

Can't stop the signal...

They look great! What brand did you get? Or did you find OEM?

Remove the radiator cover behind the headlight straight down I think it's a Phillips head. Ajust while facing a door or wall. You might also want to apply some xpel Protection headlight film

Headlight adjustment screw is something like 4mm hex.

Can I adjust these up and down. The above poster only said vertically. I am screwed as these point too low if that's the case

That explains it, when you're laying in bed, vertical is horizontal ;)

I gotta get me some new bulbs, my stockers look too dim
