Any tips?

The angle of the reach for the screws securing the headlight bracket seem like you can't get to them but with a longer Phillips head screwdriver it can be done, I have done it

Shine your headlights on the wall mark the wall with tape where the top of your low beam is, repeat for high beam. Don't move the damn truck, change the headlights then adjust back to your lines on the wall.

Actually if he just removes the screws that secure headlight retainer ring he will
not have to re-adjust the headlights.

The headlight adjuster screws are separate and fastened to the headlight bucket.
