So on my 03 Tahoe the light of the Left headlight aims to the middle down the road, and the light of the Right one aim really far right. Also both aim to close to the truck not to far out so can't really see in time holes in the road or things like that. Is there an adjusting screw or anything like that? Other than the L's and clips holding them into place. Ill try to get some pictures tonight an d post them up.

If you open your hood you should see two adjustment screws. One for up/down and the other for left/right. You can google or search on this forum for correct headlight adjustment procedures.

Ok Mine are projectors on my 03 denali and I looked under the hood for adjusters but only found one bolt on the inside of the housing to adjust. Is that it

Mine are actually pointing the same as the above

the one for left and right is the inner most screw, closest to the hood latch (B), the one next to the fender is for up and down (A)

1 - park your truck 25 feet back from a wall ( has to be exactly 90 degrees)
2 - measure from the center of the headlight (the little O in the center of the low beam lense)
3 - take that measurement to the wall and mark 4 inches lower then the hight of the headlight.
4 - measure from the center of your truck to the same O on the lense and transfer that line on to the wall also.
5 - adjust the hot spot of the light to the cross section and your done

If any thing is wrong in this post/reply let me know but this is from what I found.

If you don't have B something is wrong. I have projectors also, have had a few brands. All used the same mounting/adjusting bracket.

Just noticed u have Denali. Wouldn't think it would matter tho. But maybe someone else will help. Post a pic if possible

Denali lights only have "A" or one adjustment rod. The other adjustment rods are on the headlight itself which requires removing the hold down pins and adjust the side angle of the projector then reinstall to adjust height.
