How to Aim Headlights?

Park on level ground facing a flat wall or garage door

Check tire pressure and make sure the vehicle is unloaded

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

Mark the wall with tape at the same height as the headlight centers

Back the vehicle straight up about 25 feet from the wall

Turn on low beams

Locate the vertical and horizontal adjustment screws on each headlight assembly

Adjust the vertical aim so the top cutoff line sits slightly below the tape mark

Adjust the horizontal aim so the brightest part of the beam is centered slightly to the right of the tape mark for right-hand traffic

Repeat for the other headlight

Recheck both beams together and fine-tune as needed

Test the headlights on a dark road and confirm proper aim
