Adjusting headlights on 3rd gen
I have '01 4Runner SR5 and after the lift it seems that the rear is a bit higher, so headlights point right in front of the truck, not in the distance.
Would anyone know which screw I need to turn to make the beam from my headlights to go a little higher and farther in the distance? And what is the easiest way to get to that screw?
Thanks in advance!

You can adjust them. I adjusted mine after installing my HIDs. There's a plastic screw on the side and top to make the adjustment. Pick up a Haynes repair manual and it shows you how to adjust and what the screws look like.

be careful adjusting those little plastic teeth. I thrashed mine badly enough I had to replace the headlights completely. (*OUCH*)
The dealers can do it for pretty cheap but bring the DOT instructions for aiming headlights with you. I had to go three times before they got it right. (And I was hella pissed by the end of it!)
