After researching and watching videos for the past half hour, you're the first person to mention both adjustment knobs. Couldn't figure out why mine were't adjusting up and down. I was turning the inside adjustment. Didn't know there was another one hidden lower on the outside. Thanks SO much!!

Great tutorial - got it done in minutes, and also just eyeballed it until it looked right. Bonus was that I rummaged through my socket set (thinking there's no way an E10 will be in there), but it was! Thanks!

Actually have one on a dedicated impact driver that I used to use for popping the hatch of the back of my Jotul woodstove (catalytic) so I could blow the fly ash out of the combustor - that was such a pain in the ass, having to do it every few days, that I bought a new woodstove, and wish I'd done that years ago. Twice the heat with less wood.@@BlueCollarDIY

Thanks for the tip on the ETN socket. measure your beam at the headlight, then with the truck 25 feet from the garage door, adjust the low beam 2 to 4 inches below the beam height at the truck. thanks

Does this adjust the high beams, low beams or both? I need to adjust my low beams, but my high beams are fine tho. It's just when I dim my lights it points straight to the ground and I can only see 3 feet in front of me. I drive a 99 s10 Xtreme by the way.
@garyroxene
@garyroxene 3 года назад
the high and low beams are not a machanical adjustment. They are an electrical switch that happens within the bulb/led.
@saikothesergal
@saikothesergal 3 года назад
no, on your truck you cannot move the high beam and low beam independently. Sounds to me like you have an improperly installed bulb or a bad lens. But id try adjusting them anyways to see what the high beams do.
