Default Headlight Alignment

How do you adjust the headlight alignment on the new Rams with the quad lights? I can't find anything on the headlight unit that allows for any adjustment. These things focus the light only about 20 feet in front of the truck, they need to be adjusted up to get them to project further down the road.

The only way I see is to install a washer or two behind the lower mounting bolt.

Any suggestions?

I did some searching and found the alignment nut. There's a hole in the edge of the fender that the hood sits on top of above the light housing. The hole has an arrow stamped next to it.

Life is good!

Is there only one nut or two? Most cars have two, one for up/down the other for left/right

I could only find the one for the up and down alignment. I'd like to find the one for the left - right alignment since I seem to have a "hot" spot in the middle of my headlight pattern.

I fiound it. If I had better reading comprehension, I would have found it sooner. I was looking at that hole/flap in the inner fender
