Anyone familiar with adjusting the headlights on the Titan. I just had the right front fender, headlight, fender replaced and I noticed that the right light is low. I found an adjustment type of bolt head behind the light housing. I tried turning but nothing seemed to move. Any suggestions.

Take it back to the shop that did your body work. They should have aligned your headlights as part of the repair.

The tool most commonly used is a Headlight Alignment Unit. It uses a prisms and mirrors to align the light beam at the correct angle and it ensures the beams are aligned. Not something that can be done by eye, although you can get close.

As far as your adjusters are concerned there are 2 screws that adjust the aim. But without a photo I can't tell you for sure because I don't own a titan. Do you have a digital camera to take a picture of the back side and top area of the headlight assembly?

If you can email it to my profiles email address I can post it up and give you a better response.

just the assembly inside moves - and not the "brights" either... I was momentarily perplexed too after installing my lift.
