its beam and place lighting switch in the high or country driving position. Loosen
the mounting nut of the right lamp and aim the lamp so that the top of the light
beam is just even with the horizontal line and equally divided on each side of the
center line of the right lamp.

lamp. When this has been properly done, the lamps will be correctly aligned for
both the city and country driving positions.

Loosen the screw at the bottom of the lamp body. Push the bottom of the lens
backward and downward until the top of the lens is clear of the top of the lamp

wipe gently in a circular motion.
