How in the world do you adjust the Depo Headlights.

I know there is a screw facing front and one facing the bottom. (I’m assuming I have to take the lights off repeatedly to adjust the bottom screw).

I can’t seem to get any of my screw drivers to adjust the top side screw. I have to guess I am missing something.

Probably a Torx or Allen head, I know the Depos on my NNBS Silverado use torx.

If possible, reuse your oem mounting hardware on the new lights. Much better quality.

No longer have the and the Aftermarket one on there adjustment is rigged with zip ties and rubber prices. Reason why I need to switch.

It’s a Phillips but I have no idea how to effectively cram it in there to adjust

I mean they make angled screwdrivers but it seems something isn’t right there, like you’re supposed to do it another way. You have no room to move it back and forth.

So I had to grab my small socket set. It takes a 5/32 or maybe the Metric equivalent. My poor eyesight couldn’t make out the find edges to even notice a socket could fit.
So ultimately you need 5/32 for the left and right then a 3” extension plus 5/32 to adjust up and down.
Seems odd never put any aftermarkets on any of vehicles that used a socket.

The adjustment points are standard both on top one on the left and one on the right with each headlight.

No google search came up with anything. Other than one individual stating he had to remove the depo lights to adjust them.
Appreciate the help

Took The Beast for a drive in the snow this morning. Put it in 2nd and let it rev a bit, compression braking. I love driving this truck in the snow. And took my snow dog for a walk. He thought I was a sled, kept jumping and pulling me. 43E47AC0-AD14-4810-802F-3C46F15AD890.jpeg2F01BDC6-B151-4684-AA53-B84A97F66F83.jpeg

Yup, use a small socket for mine. Not depots, but another cheap aftermarket. Eagle Eyes I think.
@05Single.. how’s it going out there brother?!
