Adjusting Headlights on T100
Is there an easy way to adust the height level on the front headlamps on a 97 T100? The DS beam is blinding oncoming drivers and I could not find an easy way to adjust the beam, short of pulling off some trim pieces. Any thoughts? Thanks.

OK, pop the hood and stand in front of the driver's side headlight. Looking straight down on the light housing/frame with the hood open you will see 2 small silver adjuster bolts. They have a recess for a phillips head screwdriver or you can use a socket as the bolt has a hex head. These 2 bolts are vertical and spaced 6-8 inches apart. You can't miss them. The other black bolts in this area hold the plastic headlight frame to the body.
Anyway, turn these adjusters and they turn a gear that adjusts a horizontal threaded bolt that is connected to the light. I think the inboard one is up and down while the outboard one is left and right. Watch how they move as you adjust them and you will soon have the pattern you want.
I hope this helps.
