VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL AIM ADJUSTMENT (SEALED BEAM

HEADLAMPS)

The headlamps on your vehicle are intended to be aimed using

mechanical aimers. If mechanical aimers are used and the cross-car sight

line is in any way blocked, set the legs of the universal adaptor all to the

same setting, such that the cross-car sight line is no longer blocked, per

the instructions for the brand of mechanical aimer used. You can also

aim the headlamps visually using the procedure below.

To adjust the headlamps:

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away

from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at

night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern.

• (1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)

• (2) Center height of lamp to

ground

• (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)

• (4) Horizontal reference line

• (5) Center of headlamps

• (6) Center line of the vehicle

2. The center of the headlamp is

marked either on the lens (a circle

or cross marker) or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark or

feature). Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to the

ground (2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on the

wall or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps

and open the hood.

4. Locate the high intensity area of

the beam pattern and place the top

edge of the intensity zone even with

the horizontal reference line (4). If

the top edge of the high intensity

area is not even with the horizontal

line, follow the next step to adjust

it.
