Headlamp: Adjustments




Use the 2 adjusting screws, one horizontal screw (2) and one vertical screw (1), to adjust the aiming of each headlamp. These 2 screws move the mounting ring against the tension of the coil spring.

Some state and local authorities have specific requirements for aiming headlamps. Follow these requirements.

Replacing a headlamp usually does not require an aiming adjustment. However, do check the aim. Use the J 25300-D or equivalent. The instrument manufacturer supplies instructions for using the headlamp aimer.

Refer to Headlamp Aiming for additional information.
