My left headlight on my 97 dodge ram points down and to the right and shines about 10 feet in front of my truck so it doesnt do me much good. How do i adjust it to point straight? Do i have to remove my headlight completely or is there some way i can adjust it without removing the headlight?

@creepindead You can leave the headlight in your truck. There are two adjusting screws on the backside of the main beam. There should be one on the top and one on the bottom of the lens. You adjust the headlight position by turning these screws. It's easier to adjust them at dusk or at night on a flat surface so that you can see where the beam is aiming as you adjust it. Hope this helps out.

excuse me i have a 2000 dodge ram and i replaced the headlights because they were getting more opaque, and the new lights do not go as far and they are brand new, any advice??

@213mfredy The light should shine just as far as the OE ones. We do recommend replacing the bulbs if your headlights came with them, because they are a test bulb and may not be as strong as the ones you previously had.Hope this helps.

@wildmaninmt The headlight should come out just like the headlight shows.

Thanks for the vid, saved me a ton of time.  This is identical to my 1995 Ram 2500HD (diesel) Has the same 10mm bolts and everything. Took 15 minutes to swap out thanks to your video.

Appreciated /salute

Oh you have too remove the gasket. (doh) I going too remove it to try figure out why a new bulb won't go back in. Thanks or the video. :)

FYI, This process is much more difficult when your bumper is tweaked lol. Near impossible to remove the lower bolt closest to primary lamp
