Follow along as we walk you through the easy steps of adjusting headlights in your 1992-1997 OBS Ford Bronco.

Viewing this install and using the information shared is subject to the terms set forth here - View the LMR Install Instructions Disclaimer.

The headlight adjustment steps will cover 1992 to 1996 Ford Bronco's. They will also work for 1992 to 1996 F-150, 1992-1997 F-250, and F-350 trucks.

Before we start, we recommend you have the correct headlight adjustment tool and a four-millimeter nut driver. We have the headlight adjustment tool available on our website, and it does make quick work for adjusters that are difficult to access. Plus, it's an excellent tool to have in your toolbox because you never know when you might need it again.

Adjustment Steps


  1. If you're adjusting OEM headlights, the horizontal adjuster (the innermost adjuster) can be accessed by simply removing the weather stripping from the header panel and then using the adjustment tool.

  3. For folks with non-OEM headlights, you'll need to remove the headlight bezels, since most aftermarket lights have the adjustment side of the stud facing the front of the vehicle (unlike the factory lights where the adjustment side is facing towards the rear of the vehicle).

  7. Ensure you're in a low-lit area to adjust your new headlights. Park the truck on level ground and make sure it's facing a wall. Get the truck as close to the wall as you can without it touching.
