Headlamp Adj Screw Picture / Question

[Z71Jack]

I have a 2018 LT and the halogen lamps needs to be dialed up a bit. This is the adjustment knob. It's not clear whether it's clockwise or counter-clockwise to raise. I maked it with some paint as an indicator.

Any idea which direction before I start fiddling with it?

Put some tape on the wall and park about 20 feet back

Thanks Chad. I'm familiar with the alignment process. I typically use a parking garage wall @ 25 feet.

My question is which direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) raises the low beam. I like to know before I start adjusting so I can keep track of the increments. Yeah, I could just stick a screwdriver in there and start cranking and see the direction on the wall too. Easy answer. But I just wanted to know as a reference point.

Call up your local chevy dealer and ask to speak to a mechanic... unfortunately tho, you know what you’re gonna have to do....so start crankin’....

Yeah, I asked the question to them this week and am waiting on a call back. Getting an answer to this is like pulling teeth. You're right...I'm probably just going to have to experiment. I have a 50/50 chance to guess. Maybe I'll make a vid and put it up on YouTube for peeps.

I don't see the problem figuring it out. Aim the lights at the wall, mark the wall , turn it clockwise and count the turns so you can get it back where you started. Go look at the wall and see if it went up or down. Reverse the same amount of turns to get it back where you started.

That was my suggestion but apparently he didn’t like it lol I thought it was pretty simple. It’s what I did on my Lexus, took about a whole 5 minutes. This guy has a few days into it already and I’m still not sure he’s figured it out.

It wasn't that I didn't like your suggestion...it's that you didn't answer my question. I was only asking which direction raises the headlamps. The answer is either (A) clockwise or (B) counter-clockwise. I wasn't asking for tips, lessons, or techniques on how to level headlamps. I got it handled on the Tahoe. Took less than 1 min per side. LOL

From my Google search which there was very limited info it looks like clock wise raises and counter clock wise lowers.

Yeah and after all that the OP never did share which way was which for sure. Not that I care, I don't have a 2015+, but I mean come on. Asking for help and then not sharing when you figure it out? SMH. BTW @Z71Jack we knew the question. Nobody had the answer so we were trying to help you figure it out on your own.
