    I have a 2021 crew max, I was messing around with the headlight adjuster the other day. I am not sure why I have not done this before now but I moved the switch all the way up and then all the way down, I see no change?

    I did this at night while driving, I tried it with low and high beams, and waited for movement before proceeding. Should I be able to see the lights moving up and down, does it move super slow, or not enough to really notice?

    I am getting ready to put a lift on the truck and I though this would make it super easy to fix adjustment of the lights but it does not seem to be working...

    theres usually a few second delay but it should move up and down. easiest way to tell is to test in front of garage door at night. the beam moves maybe 5/6" between top and bottom settings?

    There is a slight delay of under a second on my 21 before it starts moving; but you should definitely be able to see a difference in where the light beam shines as you move the adjuster.

    Much easier to tell with lights shining ON something, garage door, wall, etc. as opposed to just shining down the road

    Too many, but not enough....
    Just a tip, i found that the further away the wall is that you are shining your beam, the easier it is to tell that its moving. If you check the beam directly in front of the truck its hard to tell.

    Rear Sway bar, TRD dual exhaust, storage unit under rear seat, cargo mate, 10 spoke aftermarket 21" rims (Lexus), weather tech mates, Morimoto headlights, HR hood bar light, Chrome deleted: bulge, grille surround, valance, bumper end caps, mirrors. Replaced all parts with smoked mesquite, and L.E.D bright interior lights.
    My headlight level switch doesn't work. I have reinstalled OEM headlights, disconnected HR hood light bar, and reconnect the OEM wires under steering wheel. Headlight leveler still doesn't work. I have checked all 5a fuses under the driver side dash. Any suggestions?
