light to see clearly at night

2645. Hold the headlamp assembly snugly against the
vehicle and push down on the right angle
brackets to lock the lamp into position.
6. Install the plastic sight shield.
7. Turn the headlamps on and make sure that
they work properly. If the headlamp was
correctly aligned before you changed the bulb,
you should not need to align it again.Aiming HeadlampsYour vehicle is equipped with a Vehicle Headlamp
Aim Device (VHAD) on each headlamp body. Each
headlamp may be properly aimed in the horizontal
direction (left/right) and the vertical position
(up/down).NOTE:A non-zero bubble reading does not
necessarily indicate out-of-aim headlamps. If your
vehicle is not positioned on a level surface, the
slope will be included in the level indicator.
Therefore, vertical headlamp adjustment should be
performed only when beam direction appears to be
incorrect or a level surface can be verified.
Tools required: One 4mm socket and ratchet.
The Horizontal aim must be adjusted first.
NOTE:The following procedure assumes that the
vehicle's front structure is in factory alignment
condition. If the vehicle has been in an accident
requiring the front end of the vehicle to be
repaired, the horizontal indicator should be
recalibrated by the servicing facility.
