Headlight adjustment?

I finally give up and have to answer a dumb question. I'm a pretty handy guy and have adjusted a lot of headlights, but cannot figure out how to to do it on my 2007 Fleetwood Terra. No screws on the outside, no obvious screws on the back. Nothing in the manual, nothing on Google - what am I missing?



Thanks!

Not sure what your point is but mine is this. This lite works very well for any Class A owner that needs decent lites to see while driving at night. Unit mounts about 30 inches from ground level on front of Mh. it actually looks fine.I was worried about aesthetics at first but once installed looks fine (my opinion)


I was just mentioning they are not DOT approved for use on public roads, only off road use. That may not mean anything to you north of the border folks, as you have your own Mnistry of something or other 🙂


LOL do you realize how many hundreds of thousands of americans use non DOT approved lighting every day??
99% of my driving with this light system is in the usa.
they work great so if you don't want one does not matter to me
the guy was complaining about Class A headlights as they suck on every one of them I offered a cheap alternative that works great for me
its called ""Minster of Transport" AKA DOT "Department of transport"

Don't think that light bar is going to be legal for use on public roads/streets, at least in the US.


BS its just fine.I used all the way from BC through to southern California
I even had a Cop stop me near Alturas California because I forgot to dim it *he was off the road giving out a ticket)
SO Just have it turned off in high traffic areas of course
Anyhow to each your own. I,ve had piss poor headlites on my last three Mh,s no matter how their adjusted or how good of bulbs etc
and finally found a product that worked for me.

Headlights on most Class A old or new suck. One can ajust them all they want and they suck.I even went to euro style clear lenses one unit with 100w bulbs and still not great,The current one I drive I installed Hi-intensity system.Better but still not like a current day car or truck
I added a 24 inch LED Light bar on current one and can finally see 1/2 decent at night

I replied to Fleetwood saying that it doesn't have adjusting screws like a car, and she just sent me 9 pages of diagrams of how it all goes together. I'm just heading out into the Alaska wilderness with the rig for a few days, but I'll post them when I get back, so others will have the answer.

Here's a link to adjusting the headlights on a 97 Ford Expedition.

Although the model year is different Ford headlights still use the same basic adjustment system.

Some headlights are not adjustable. Call Fleetwood.


Fleetwood's response: "In regards to your inquiry, the headlights should be adjusted with screws, as you would be able to adjust the headlights on a car. We would suggest you take the coach to a dealership for assistance, as they should have a machine that assists with the aim of the headlight, making sure it is correct."

See my signature it looks just like mine. Mine was terrible just like you couldn't drive (see) at night. There is a frame built by Fleetwood and it is adjustable but my lights not frame were broke where they are adjusted which left them out of adjustment (down). I bought two new ones on amazon took a while to get them adjusted and my last trip out I did a lot of night driving and was just like driving any car I own, it was fantastic. If you need want any more info PM me or I can call you if wanted.

Looks somewhat similar to my 2015 Expedition. On it there is a very tiny screw head on top of the light housing, just above the dim bulb. Not obvious at all. I looked multiple times and never realized what it was until I finally found something on the web.

I would bet somewhere on the back are 2 screws that adjust the aim. Time to crawl under there with a flashlight!


I bet that, too. But, I've spent a lot of time under there with a light.

It's good - I think - to at least see that it's not as dumb a question as I thought. My rig isn't drivable at night, though, so it's time to deal with it.
