Is the only way to adjust your head lights with the 3 screws?

My dims are fine but the brights are not even close to the road they shoot way up...so i probably have to tilt them down eh?

you could lift the rear of the truck and lower the front that'd make the lights go down

Are you talkin chevy, or GMC?
I don't see how the low can be just right, and the high is way off, when it's the same bulb.

I think your lows are too high,too.They`re supposed to point down.Besides adjusting screws there`s the jack it up in rear/drop it in the front(as suggested)or run it into something.That usually works.
