HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project
top edge of high intensity pattern on screen from 50
mm (2 in.) above to 50 mm (2 in.) below headlamp
centerline. The side-to-side outboard edge of high in­
tensity pattern should be from 50 mm (2 in.) left to
50 mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline (Fig. 1).
The preferred headlamp alignment is 0 for the
up/down adjustment and Y down for the left/
right adjustment. The high beam pattern should be
correct when the low beams are aligned properly.
To adjust headlamp aim, rotate alignment screws
to achieve the specified high intensity pattern (Fig.
2).
