Sweet! Thanks for the help. But... I broke down and just took it to the dealer, because if you ask my wife I am extremely picky about anything, and **** as all hell when it comes to my truck. I always want everything to be perfect. So, rather than me messing around with it, I took it to the dealer. Good news is I am pretty good friends with the Service Manager there and he cut me a break and didn't charge me anything since I brought it in for an oil change. But none the less, my headlights are perfect now. I really appreciate everyones help!

Thanks again!

Do you have your old stockers?

I wanna find a set of stocker for cheap so I can try taking them apart and painting them black.

ok you see the 3 screws with the star shape black nuts 2 on 1 side the r above each other and the 1 by itself on the other side (lower inside of light) .

if you turn the top in and turn the 2 bottoms 1's out that will bring your headlight up. do the opposite to go down.

left to right or vis. vers. out side of headlight(the 2 that r above each other)in will bring the headlight more to the outside of the vech.do the opps.to bring it twords the middle(inside bottome in the 2 outside out)if you need more help let me i'll pm you my number and talk you thru it.

Yeah, I still have my original headlights, but I want to keep them for when I trade this beast in, and/or if something happens to the ones I got now, I will have replacements. :)

I will have to get some new pictures up. I have two whip antennas now, the bumper painted and the new headlights. Can you say Bomb Squad? LOL. I think it looks awesome. :)
