1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,  
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.  
(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)  
(2) Center height of lamp to  
ground  
(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)  
(4) Horizontal reference line  
2. Measure the height from the  
center of your headlamp to the  
ground and mark an 8 foot (2.4  
meter) horizontal reference line on  
the vertical wall or screen at this  
height (a piece of masking tape works well).  
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and  
open the hood.  
4. On the wall or screen you will  
observe an area of high intensity  
light. The top of the high intensity  
area should touch the horizontal  
reference line. If not, the beam will  
need to be adjusted.

each headlamp, then use a 7 mm  
Allen wrench or a Phillips  
screwdriver to adjust the headlamp  
up or down.
