19. Align the vehicle to the headlamp aiming screen as shown.
20. Turn on the head lamps, making sure they are on HIGH BEAM, NOT low beam.
21. Headlamp Alignment:
The high intensity area (hot spot) of the high beam should be centered about the horizontal line on the screen which represents the height of the headlamp at its center. For a normal vehicle without any occupants and a full tank of gas, this height will be 25.54 in. (623.36 mm).
The high intensity area of the high beam will be shifted to the right of the vertical centerline of each lamp approximately 4 inches as measured from the vehicle centerline. The location of the vertical centerline of each lamp as measured from the vehicle centerline is 21.57 in. (548 mm).
Make the vertical and horizontal adjustment for each lamp. The beams should look like the illustration. Check the low beam to ensure no part of the low beam high intensity area is above the horizontal.
22. Rotate the bubble level calibration screw in or out until bubble is centered in the vial.
23. Center arrow sticker, P/N 4630294, to gauge sticker for left/right reference.
