Fog Lamp Alignment Screen Preparation

FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION




Prepare an alignment screen as illustrated.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 feet) (6) away from the front of the front fog lamp lens (7). If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters (25 feet) away from and parallel to the wall.
2. Measure up on the wall 1.27 meters (5 feet) from the floor and tape a vertical line on the alignment screen at the centerline of the vehicle (1). Sight along the centerline of the vehicle (from the rear of the vehicle forward) to verify the accuracy of the centerline placement.
3. Rock the vehicle from side-to-side three times to allow the suspension to stabilize, then jounce the front suspension three times by pushing downward on the front bumper and releasing. Measure the distance from the center of the front fog lamp lens to the floor. Transfer this measurement to the alignment screen and tape a horizontal line on the wall at this mark (4). This line will be used for up-and-down adjustment reference.
4. Measure the distance from the centerline of the vehicle to the center of each front fog lamp being aligned. Transfer these measurements to the alignment screen and tape a vertical line this distance to each side of the vehicle centerline (2). These lines will be used for left/right reference.
