AIMING THE HEADLAMPS

Your vehicle may be equipped with a sealed beam or aerodynamic
headlamp system. Sealed beam headlamps may be aimed in the vertical
(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions using the procedures
following. The aerodynamic headlamps can only be aimed in the vertical
direction (up/down) using the procedures following. The headlamps on
your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant and should not
normally need adjusting.

Vertical and horizontal aim adjustment (sealed beam headlamps)

The headlamps on your vehicle are intended to be aimed using
mechanical aimers. If mechanical aimers are utilized, and a universal
headlamp adaptor is not available (in other words only the base,
non-adjustable 6x8 sealed beam adaptor is available) and the cross-car
sight line is in any way blocked, Ford Motor Company will supply a pair
of spacer blocks at no cost. Please contact your dealer. If a universal
adaptor is available and the cross-car sight line is in any way blocked, set
the legs of the universal adaptor all to the same setting, such that the
cross-car sight line is no longer blocked, per the instructions for the
brand of mechanical aimer employed. You can also aim the headlamps
visually using the procedure set forth below.
