Hello all.

I was advised that my left side headlight is aimed a bit high and shining into the side view mirrors on the drivers side.

My Mechanic said to take it back to the Ford Body shop. I never had any work done and I don't want to be without my vehicle.

Is there anyway that I can adjust the aim of the left side headlight myself?

I'm sure it just needs to be adjusted downward. Not side to side. Just down.

Any suggestions?

Its a 2014 Raptor..

There are a number of threads on this on the forum. It's also in your owners manual. They're easily adjusted vertically with a number 2 Phillips using a gear that you'll see looking down from the top of headlight. I just installed retrofit HIDs on my 2012 and it's very simple. Park with headlights 25 feet back from your garage door, measure up to midpoint of your lights, then mark a spot on your garage door with tape that is 2" lower than the headlight midpoint. Aim your HID cutoff at that height or adjust lower if you still think they're too high after a test drive.
