Are you talking about aiming them? If so there will be 2 spring loaded screws for every light. One on the side and one on the top or bottom. You just need to go at night pick something where you want the lights to shine and adjust them. It only takes a screw driver and a few minutes to do it.

I think it is kind of personal preference. Sorry, don't have the manual here, but I know there is a "correct" way to do it. I pulled the truck near a wall, aimed headlights at about waist high, a few feet apart, and went and tested it out when it got dark enough. You don't want them too far out or they will be dim (the low beams that is) and too close and they do you no good obviously. Gotta be able to see them deer before you smack them : )

No anti-theft measures on your truck? No pity when its stolen

Try looking at the link below. It applies to adjusting quartz-halogen headlites but might give you a starting point.
