'98 Mountaineer Headlamp Adjustment?

[xccter]

Hey Guys,

Seems my woman wants her headlamps aimed slightly higher. They do seem lower than my '99.

Are the headlamps adjustable on these things? The bulb is obviously held in place in the back of the assembly, but is the entire assembly adjustable?

Thanx

should be an allen rod poking through the top someplace- turn it and it will adjust height.

Yuppers. Lift the hood, flip over the plastic cover that covers the top of the headlamp housing, and you'll see the tip of the adjuster poking out. Use a 4mm socket to adjust it vertically.

On the inside edge, you'll also see the side to side adjustment. It's impossible to get a socket and ratchet in there, and a 4mm wernch is tiny. A good ratcheting headlight adjusting too from Lisle Tool is about $20 at any good auto parts store. The thumb knob type generally won't work.
