Where are the headlight adjustment screws located on a 1997 Ford ranger?

The headlight adjustment screws on a 1997 Ford Ranger are located behind the headlights themselves. You'll need to access them from the engine compartment.

To find them, you'll need to:

1. Open the hood.

2. Locate the back of the headlight assembly. You'll see a metal backing plate.

3. Look closely at the backing plate. The adjustment screws will be small and usually have either a Phillips head or a slot for a flathead screwdriver. There will be one screw for vertical adjustment and one for horizontal adjustment. They may be clearly marked, or you might need to gently feel around to find them. They're typically near the top and sides of the headlight.

Important Note: The exact location might vary slightly depending on the trim level of your 1997 Ranger. If you have trouble locating them, a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and model would be very helpful. A quick online search for "1997 Ford Ranger repair manual" should provide options.
