General

The headlamp assemblies must be aimed for proper illumination of the road. The headlamp assembly aim should be checked when a new headlamp assembly is installed, or if service or repairs in the front end area may have disturbed the headlamp mounting brackets.

Horizontal and vertical aiming of each of the composite headlamps is done by turning adjusting screws which move the headlamp capsule in relation to the headlamp housing assembly. The horizontal adjustment screw (1) is located on the rear upper edge of each of the headlamp assemblies, toward the outboard side of the vehicle. The vertical adjustment screw (4) is located on the rear upper edge of each of the headlamp assemblies, toward the center of the vehicle.

Some state and local authorities have specific requirements for aiming the headlamps. These requirements must be followed.
