How To Adjust Headlights?

Park on level ground facing a flat wall or garage door

Check tire pressure and vehicle load

Measure headlight height from the ground to the center of each headlight

Mark the wall at the same height with tape

Back the vehicle up to the recommended distance in the owner’s manual

Turn on the low beams

Locate the vertical and horizontal adjustment screws or bolts on each headlight assembly

Adjust the vertical aim until the cutoff line sits at the marked height

Adjust the horizontal aim so the beam centers align with the vehicle centerline

Repeat for the other headlight

Verify both beams are even and properly aimed

Test the lights on a road at night and fine-tune if needed
