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.
- Find correct State or Province Inclination %
specification for the low beam adjustment (If
there is no local specification use 1.2%).
Note:
DO NOT use the Inclination % molded into the
plastic of the headlight housing near the
headlight adjustment screws; it is for Europe
only!
- 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.

VOL is the correct beam pattern for both right
and left headlights.
Note:
If the height alignment changed, readjust.
Checking driver's side headlight high beam alignment - Adjust lateral (horizontal) alignment of driver's 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).
- Switch headlights ON in high beam position.
- Realign Beamsetter box with the high beam headlight if necessary.
- Set Beamsetter "Scaled wheel" to 0%.
- Cover low beam lamp (use hand or small piece of cardboard) and
check that the "hot spot" of high beam pattern is centered on the
square target box of the pattern screen.

Aligning fog lamp
- Switch fog lamps ON.

it is between 30 and 70cm from the fog lamp
lens).
Adjust fog lamp so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the centerline
of the target grid on the beam pattern screen. - Set Beamsetter scaled wheel to 1.4%.
