HEADLIGHT AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
Headlight must be securely mounted and properly aimed such that the beam pattern "cut off line" complies with all applicable regulations.
If you are not familiar with the legal requirements for aiming your headlights, please see a professional service provider. We
recommend that headlights are aimed with a headlight aiming system for proper alignment. Failure to properly aim your headlights is a risk
to other drivers and could result in tickets or citations with local authorities. J.W. Speaker is not liable for any damage to the vehicle or light,
or any tickets/citations as a result of using these guidelines.

2. All tires are properly inflated.
3. Vehicle is at normal driving height.
REQUIRED SUPPLIES:
• Tape or chalk to mark lines
• Corresponding tools for your vehicle's aiming mechanism
OPTIONAL SUPPLIES:
• Laser level to expedite the aiming process and will help to
increase accuracy in aiming
