Best Answer

To properly adjust the headlights

1. You must first park the vehicle on a level surface 25 feet from a vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.

2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and

mark a 2.5 meter (8 foot) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or

screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works well).

3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and

open the hood.

4. On the wall or screen you will observe an area of high intensity

light. The top of the high intensity area should touch the horizontal reference line, if not, the beam will need to be adjusted.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp. The vertical adjuster is located on the rear of the headlamp between the two retainer pins. Using a 4 mm wrench, turn the adjuster either clockwise (to adjust down) or

counterclockwise (to adjust up). The horizontal edge of the brighter light should touch the horizontal reference line.

6. HORIZONTAL AIM IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS NON-ADJUSTABLE.

7. Close the hood and turn off the lamps.
