How hard is this to do? Is there a simple procedure to follow?

One of mine has been a little off since I bought the truck new, but now it seems to be angled significantly too high (I was following my wife tonight and she said it was blinding her in the rearview mirror).

I need this info as well. I get flashed a lot b/c of one being too high.

It takes and odd little socket, maybe a headlight adjustment tool at the Autoparts store. that is the hardest part once you get the socket the rest is easy. The two hex adjustment nubs stick up to turn.

I just finished adjusting mine. Tried a pair of pliers and then said forget that. Took the assembly out and adjusted the rubber "stops", reinstalled, checked alignment... repeated 2x and had them done. Much easier this way than messing with the hex socket thing. Took 15 mins tops, and that's after I figured out this way of doing it.
