Headlamp Aiming Procedure

1. Park the vehicle square with the screen, with the headlamps directly over the reference line.
2. Make sure all the components are in place if other work has been done on the vehicle.
3. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface.
4. Stop all other work on the vehicle.
5. Make sure the vehicle has a half tank of fuel or less.
6. Close the all of the doors.
7. Rock the vehicle sideways.
8. Line up the centerline of the vehicle with the centerline of the aiming screen. This can be done by marking the vertical center of the rear and front windows with tape. Use these lines as "sights" to line up the centerline of the vehicle and screen.
9. Adjust the vertical tapes on the screen to match the vertical centerline of each low beam headlamp. (Measure the distance from the centerline of the low beam lamp).
10. Adjust the horizontal tapes on the screen to match the horizontal centerline of each low beam headlamp. (Measure the height from the floor to the center of the low beam).
11. Turn on the low beam headlamps. Observe the left and top edges of the high intensity zone on the screen. Adjust the headlamps so that:
A. The top edge of the center of intensity on the screen for the low beam isless than 101.6 mm (4 inch) above or below the cross section of the headlamp centerlines.
B. The left edge of the center of intensity on the screen for the low beam is less than 101.6 mm (4 inch) to the left or right of the cross section of the headlamp centerlines.
