Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Headlamp Aiming: Notes
Aiming of each of the headlamps is done by turning the vertical (1) adjusting screw which moves the headlamp bulb in relation to the headlamp assembly. The adjusting screw is located inboard of the front fender wheelhouse panel. The high beam will be correctly aimed if the low beam is aimed properly.
Some state and local authorities have specific requirements for aiming the headlamps. These requirements must be followed.
