AIM GUIDELINES USING VISUAL INTERNAL SCREENS
Page 10
Note:
Although all US headlamp beam patterns
meet the same Federal specification, one
may encounter a lamp that is dif ficult to aim
electronically and or visually.
If it is suspected the aimer is not aiming the
lamp correctly, look for the following
conclusions.
The aimer may be defective and should be
compared to other known vehicles. If it
does not aim these vehicles properly return
to factory for repair.
If it aims these vehicles properly, recheck
vehicle alignment and lamp centering. If the
aimer continues to misaim the lamp it may
be a beam pattern that is dif ficult to
interpret. The lamp then must be aimed
visually on the internal aim screen as
accurately as possible.
