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) VOL - subtract 2.1 inches (50
mm) from the measurement of
the center of the low beam lamp
to the 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 2.1 inches (50 mm) below this height (a piece of masking
tape works well). The center of the lamp is marked by a 3.0 mm circle
on the headlamp lens (use the low beam center mark).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and
open the hood.

beam will need to be adjusted.
To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block
the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.

headlamp, then usea6mmsocket wrench or screwdriver to adjust the
headlamp up or down.
