Brought home the 2018 F150 in my sig a couple of weeks ago. Very pleased with the truck overall.
The headlights came from the factory illuminating the squirrels. the hot spot was entirely off the road, nicely blasting the street signs and everything above light height. They did actually aim up above horizontal. So I lowered that to get them on the road and out of people's eyes. Now, the manual is kind enough to show how to set beam height for adjusting to different loads. It also says there is no L-R adjustment, which confirms what I'm not finding on the back of the housing... and both point to the right. The Driver's side starts rightward in the middle of the lane, and the passenger side hot spot is off the road to the right. It's too far right to finagle the whole assembly, I think.
My thoughts were
1. avoid the dealer - the local one is bad, and the one I bought this from is out of town
2. try to slightly shift the whole assembly
3. replace bulbs? Once I replaced factory bulbs and the aim improved notably. is this common?
Any thoughts?
