Good headlight aiming procedure info



With all of the talk about aiming headlights thought this might be of
help to some.

  From G.E., is the recommended way to check headlight aim.

1. Put your car on 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 from 2 to 3 feet away and outline
the bright spots on the door with a pencil or tape.

3. Back the car to about 25 feet from the door. 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 ( H4 bulbs like in the ST/RS), the high beams are
automatically aimed when you aim the low beams.
