Open the hood, look at the upper front fender sections. There will be two holes (I think it's two) but anyway there is one on each side, facing up, with little arrows beside them. Look down inside to see the adjustment screw head. I think it has a hex head with a phillips slot as well so you can adjust it with two different tools. Just aim the truck at a flat surface, turn the lights on and adjust as needed.

Mine are the Auto Vent Shades in-channel model. I like them a lot. The fit was perfect and they don't stick out much so they blend in well with tinted windows. I wanted the WeatherTech but they were not available at the time. I believe they are available now and either one should satisfy you. The AVS are adhesive stripped front and rear. The WT are snap in front and adhesive rear...or so I'm told.
