Open the hood and locate the vertical aim
level (B) that you can see through the top of
the headlight lens.
If you find that the headlight needs adjust-
ment follow these steps:
1 Locate the vertical aiming device (A)
located behind and below the outer
headlight assembly.
2 Turn the vertical aiming screw with a
0.24 in. (6 mm) Hexagonal Allen wrench
until the bubble inside the level is cen-
tered between the two red lines (zero).
3 Check the horizontal aim (1) and adjust
as necessary. The horizontal aiming
device (2) is located behind the inner
headlight assembly. Turn the horizontal
aiming knob until the zero (0) line on the
knob aligns with the zero mark on the
graduation scale.
4 Recheck the vertical aim to make sure it
is still correct after the horizontal aim
adjustment. Readjust as necessary.
NOTE
To make sure that your headlights are
aimed properly read all instructions
before beginning. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause damage to
headlight parts or a not correctly aimed
headlight.
