How to adjust Ford Ranger headlights?

How to adjust Ford Ranger headlights?

Headlights in many modern vehicles have an amount of adjustment built-in, but this doesn't mean they're easy to point in the right place. You need to ensure the vehicle is perfectly level, positioned a specific distance from a wall you know is flat and true (perfectly vertical), then you have to measure where the headlights intersect, how high off the ground that intersection point is, and several other factors. The easiest way to adjust your headlights is to get your local dealership or mechanic to do it (mention it as part of your next service if you're curious). If you improperly align your headlights you could blind on-coming vehicles, or not have enough light to properly see the road in front of you, so get the pros to handle it.
