Notice: Horizontal aiming must be performed before making any adjustments to
the vertical aim. Adjusting the vertical aim first will result in an incorrect
headlamp aim.
- Find the aim dot on the lens of the low beam lamps.
- Measure the distance from the ground to the aim dot on each lamp; if left low
beam, subtract two inches. Record this distance.
- At the wall or other flat surface, measure from the ground upward the
recorded distance from Step 2 and draw or tape a horizontal line the width
of the vehicle.
- Turn on the low-beam headlamps and place a piece of cardboard or equivalent
in front of the headlamp not being aimed. This should allow only the beam of light
from the headlamp being aimed to be seen on the flat surface.
Notice: Do not cover a headlamp to improve beam cut-off when aiming. Covering
a headlamp may cause excessive heat build-up which may cause damage to the
headlamp.
Turn the vertical aiming screw (C) until the headlamp beam is aimed to
the horizontal tape line.
- The top edge of the cut-off should be positioned at the bottom edge of the horizontal
tape line.
- Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the opposite headlamp.
