Aiming requirements
Before checking headlight aim
- place vehicle on flat surface
Note
It is not necessary that the surface be exactly level.
- remove any large accumulations of mud or ice from wheel wells, fender undersides, bumpers etc.
- check tire pressures, correct if necessary
- verify that vehicle has no loading other than driver
- rock vehicle to equalize suspension
- clean headlight lenses and aiming pads
- check for bulb burnout, broken aiming pads and proper beam switching. Correct if necessary
Setting up adaptors
Note
Two adaptors are available for mechanical aiming equipment. Choose the correct adaptor for the type of headlight being adjusted. Use either the 0202 (small pad pattern) or 0203 (large pad pattern) adaptor.

- move adjustable rods of adaptor to correspond to settings found on headlight
- attach aiming device to adaptor
- mount assembly to headlight lens. See Fig. 2
