I don't understand how to adjust headlights.
I can select the lights that I want to adjust, but I can't seem to actually *adjust* them. I want to change the angles of the lights, is that not something I can do?

Not without making a mod you can't.

So then what does the headlight adjustment thing even do?

Are you referring to the F4 Menu and adjusting lights?

Yes.

That is for dashboard lighting, not headlights.

But options 1-4 are for headlights and beacon lights?

When viewing the truck from outside and hitting F4 those turn on those individual parts.

Oh. Hm. Hopefully they make that menu less confusing in a future update.

it shows that you can adjust the angle of the headlights, however there is no option when you click on it up and down like the seats.. its in that section to adjust them.

Hit F4.

There are arrows on the seat-adjust icon, because the seats can be adjusted from the F4 popup: up, down, forward, and back.

There are arrows on the mirror-adjust icon, because the mirrors can be adjusted similarly.

There are up-down arrows on the headlights-adjust icon, but they can't be adjusted up or down. They can only be turned on and off. So why are the arrows there, and why are headlights in adjustment menu F4? The various lights can be toggled on and off from the keyboard; they shouldn't pop up in F4 if they can't be adjusted up and down there.

Mantha and 19th MangyMutt have a point.

Agreed, the icon is totally misleading. Never noticed that before.

It is likely a carry over from ETS2. I believe the bull bar lights in that game can be adjusted up or down.

Nope, they can not.
