Headlight Aiming

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Taking a page from my own book I searched around a bit and found 
several sites with explanations on correct headlight aiming. This one 
from G.E. is the easiest to understand and should result in a good 
alignment.

Are you sure your headlights are not blinding others? Here, from 
G.E., is the recommended way to check headlight aim.

1. Find a 35-40 foot stretch of flat or evenly sloped pavement such 
as a driveway facing a wall or garage door.

2. Shine your low beams on the door / wall from 2 to 3 feet away and 
outline the bright spots on the door with a pencil or tape.

3. Back the car to 25 feet from the door / wall. The top of the low 
beams should shine no higher than the top of the marks on the door or 
lower than the center of the marked circle. If your vehicle has four 
headlights the center of the high beam (the inner or lower two 
lights) should align with the top of the low beam marks. If you have 
only two headlights, the high beams are automatically aimed when you 
aim the low beams.
