Adjust lateral (horizontal) alignment of drivers side headlight so that the peak (highest point) of the
headlight beam pattern aligns with the right edge of the target box of the grid on the pattern screen (it
should match the VOL pattern shown on the Beamsetter box).
Checking drivers side headlight high beam alignment
Without moving the Beamsetter, slide Broad-band sight toward center of
vehicle (Broad-band sight can also be moved up and down for a better
position).
NOTE:
Try using corners of the headlight housings or two screws that are the
same height and as far apart as possible on the vehicle.
Carefully tighten hand wheel without changing Beamsetter position.
Set Inclination to 1.0 %.
Set Beamsetter "Scaled wheel" to the proper low beam inclination %.
Adjust height (vertical) alignment first. Turn headlight height adjuster
screw to align the upper edge of the flat portion of the beam with the
center horizontal line of the grid on the Beamsetter pattern screen.
NOTE:
VOL is the correct beam pattern for both right and left headlights.
NOTE:
If the height alignment changed, readjust.
