Re: Adjusting headlights?
Take the vehicle to a little used dark flat straight road.
Drape a blanket over one head light to shield its light.
There are two adjusting screws (phillips head #2) for each light - not
to be confused with the 3 screws that hold on the trim ring that holds
the light in place.
Park exactly parallel to the edge of the road.
Notice where one low beam shines, the 'center' of the beam should shine
approximately 150ft. in front and slightly off to the right side by
about the1/2 to 3/4 the width of the car. The 'left' light's beam
should be 'centered' near the right edge of the road.
Then adjust the right headlight to line up to the same forward pattern
and the center of the beam about the same distance apart as it is on
the vehicle.
Drive it for a while and make minor adjustment to suit your preference.
What you dont want is to set the lights dead centered and high so that
they will 'dazzle' oncoming cars. Slighly down and to the right willl
suffice. There is a 'cutoff' pattern at the top of the low beams, the
cutoff should reach out about 150-175ft.
Hope this helps.
