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.

- 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.

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%.
