RE: headlights
1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 25 feet away from the front of the headlamp lens. 2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 25 feet away from and parallel to the wall. 3) From the floor up 5 feet, tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the vehicle. Sight along the centerline of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line placement. 4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow suspension to stabilize. 5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing downward on front bumper and releasing. 6) Measure the distance from the center of headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the the wall (with tape). Use this line for up/down adjustment reference. 7) Measure distance from the centerline of the vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned. Transfer measurements to the wall (with tape) to each side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference. 8) A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of low beam hot spot on the wall from 2 inches above to 2 inches below the headlamp centerline. The side- to-side left edge of low beam hot spot should be from 2 inches left to 2 inches right of headlamp centerline. The high beam pattern should be correct when the low beams are aligned properly. To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate alignment screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot pattern.
