HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed left low beam headlamp will
project the center of the low beam hot spot on the
alignment screen 8 in. (203 mm) below the horizontal
centerline and 5 in. (127 mm) right of headlamp cen-
terline. A properly aimed right low beam headlamp
will project the center of the low beam hot spot on
the alignment screen 7 in. (178mm) below the hori-
zontal centerline and 9 in. (229 mm) right of head-
lamp centerline (Fig. 3). The preferred headlamp
alignment is 0 ( 0.76°) for the up/down adjust-
ment as indicated on bubble level. Preferred
left/right alignment is 0 (
on the gauge wheel. The high beam headlamps
cannot be aligned. The high beam pattern should be
correct when the low beams are aligned properly.
NOTE: The bubble level and gauge wheel is cali-
brated before the headlamp is installed in the vehi-
cle. The bubble level cannot be calibrated without
damaging the headlamp module. If bubble level is
faulty, replace headlamp module.
