    Installed the OEM LED headlights awhile back. Realized i needed to adjust them better. I followed a youtube vid where u pull 3 feet from a wall, mark from center of headlight to wall. Then mark 2 inches below. Then pull back 25 feet and lower the beam til the top beam area touches that mark thats 2 inches below. Done. After driving home it feels like theyre aimed too low now. Is that the correct method for aiming headlights for this truck? Or is there another way to tell if ive got it right?

    This is for a Tacoma or 4Runner, but this sorta gives an idea on distances and where to properly aim. I cannot attest to the fact that this is how you’re supposed to do it, but I needed the info myself, saw your post, and decided to look. Will try on my Pro headlights later, I know they need adjusting. Put em on about 10k ago and occasionally get flashed by oncoming traffic. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q-FL0ZDg5cc

    Look at Headlight Revolutions site. They have a Tundra aiming video posted on there somewhere.
