lamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/
down adjustment reference.
(7) Measure distance from the centerline of the ve-
hicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
