C 25 ft (7.6 m).

D Horizontal reference line.

Vertical Alignment

  1. Park the vehicle on level ground approximately 7.6 m from a vertical wall or screen.
  2. Apply the parking brake.
  3. Measure the distance from the center of the headlamp to the ground.

Note: The lens may have a mark indicating the center of the headlamp bulb.

4. Draw a horizontal reference line at least 2.4 m long on the vertical wall or screen.

5. Turn on the low beam headlamps and open the hood.

6. In the right side of the headlamp beam pattern there is a distinct change from light to dark. Position the upper edge of this cutoff 7.5 cm below the horizontal reference line.

7. To adjust the vertical aim point, turn the adjusting screw clockwise or counterclockwise with a suitable tool.

Note: For a clearer light pattern when adjusting one headlamp, cover the other headlamp.

8. Close the hood and turn off the low beam headlamps.

Horizontal Alignment

Adjusting the horizontal aim point is generally not required, but is possible.

  1. Locate the adjuster at the rear of the headlamp unit with the extension tube fitted.
  2. To adjust the horizontal aim point, turn the adjusting screw clockwise or counterclockwise with a suitable tool.

Note: X: Toward the front of the vehicle.
