Headlamp: Adjustments

Requirements
- Driver in driver's seat
- Fuel tank full
- Vehicle on level surface


NOTES:
- There are two headlight adjustment procedures: one for ad- justing headlights that have not been disturbed from their factory-installed position, and the other for adjusting headlights that have been removed or replaced.
- The headlight adjustment scales (adhesive stickers) must be installed on top of the headlights. Do not remove the stickers except as necessary for body and/or paint repairs.


Adjusting factory-installed headlight assembly
- Using Phillips-head screwdriver or hex wrench, turn vertical adjuster -1- until "0" is indicated on level.





- Note value on vertical adjustment scale -2-.
- Turn horizontal adjuster -3- until pointer on horizontal scale -4 matches value of vertical scale -2-.
- Check 0 (zero) adjustment of level once again, and correct as necessary with vertical and horizontal adjusters.





Adjusting headlight assembly after removing or replacing





NOTE:
- Install the headlight flush to the vehicle.
- New headlight adjustment scales (adhesive stickers) must be installed on top of the headlights after the adjustment is complete.


- Using Phillips-head screwdriver or hex wrench, turn vertical adjuster -1- until "0" is indicated on level.
- Using optical headlight aiming equipment (commercially available), adjust horizontal headlight aim according to aiming equipment manufacturer's instructions.
- Check "0" (zero) adjustment of level once again, and correct as necessary with vertical and horizontal adjusters.





- Place new scale stickers next to pointers -2- and -4- (above) so that "0", (zero) marking on each sticker aligns with each pointer.
