I am curious just how everyone that drives on road with a lifted truck adjusts their head lights to be legal

I hear tell of a local municipality looking to raise much needed revenue by writing tickets for headlights being out of adjustment .

One mucky muck had a lifted vehicle behind him and complained.

After the strange Officers gone nuts stories.

** A shame a few bad ones can make them all look bad.

I have to wonder.

After my increase in health insurance I can`t afford fighting any tickets

I don't know how for out in the woods you are but if your that far out wouldn't people just shoot out your lights? On a serious note, in bodyman school, the old school way to adjust a headlight is 25 and 2. Park facing a wall thats 25 feet away and the main focus of your head light beam should be 2" lower on the wall than on your truck. example, if your headlights are 24"off the ground you want 22" on the wall.

We don't align headlights any different no matter what kind of vehicle we have. Little car, big truck, our headlight aiming machine doesn't know the difference and they all get set the same.

I've never heard of a ticket for imporperly adjusted headlights. What happens if a minivan is full of 7 fat people? Thats bound to tip the headlights up.

This is pure politics and the kissing of butt .

This is the reason I try not and leave home on weekends.

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania your head light adjustment is part of your safety inspection though most places are happy if your head lights work on high and low beam.

We have moved on from shooting out headlights we now use Claymore mines.

... the headlights on my dodge aren't adjustable so they cant really enforce that law can they?

Sure they can, He'll just write you a Failure to Dim ticket and let you and the judge figure it out, and how are they not adjustable?

I don't think I've ever heard of a vehicle with lights that aren't adjustable somehow..cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, trains..., all adjustable

He has not figured out yet how to adjust them.

But it being a Dodge he very well may be correct.

When they burn out you need to buy a new truck!!!!

If you are worried about improperly aimed head lights due to a lifted truck I would be more inclined to be worried about bumper height...


and nothingbetter....your headlight aiming machine is just a line on a wall and a screwdriver right?

stetson_md- all headlights are adjustable.

It was not so much for myself but I wondered about if others had ever had any issues.

Pretty much the old school view if it was not designed at the factory it is a form of devil worship.

Like most other things given a few months they will move on to something else

Fsm for it says there non adjustable and on top of that they point up in the sky.
i hate dodge too the truck was inherited tho
