The correct aiming of headlights is crucial to avoid blinding oncoming drivers and prevent accidents or reduced visibility. It is recommended to check the aim of headlights every 12 months, as well as when installing new headlights or performing front-end bodywork. However, it is important to note that the following procedure is only a temporary adjustment and headlights should be properly adjusted by a qualified repair shop. Some models may have a headlight leveling system, in which case it is advisable to have the headlights adjusted by a dealer service department or qualified repair shop. For models without a leveling system, there is usually one adjustment screw on the back of each headlight housing. Using a Phillips screwdriver, the screw can be turned to adjust the headlights. One method of adjusting the headlights involves using masking tape, a blank wall, and a level floor. The tape should be positioned vertically on the wall in reference to the vehicle center line and the center lines of both headlights. A horizontal tape line should also be positioned in reference to the center line of all the headlights. The adjustment should be made with the vehicle parked 25 feet from the wall, sitting level, with a half-full gas tank and no unusually heavy load. Starting with the low beam adjustment, the high-intensity zone should be positioned two inches below the horizontal line and two inches to the side of the headlight vertical line, away from oncoming traffic. The vertical adjusting screw can be used to raise or lower the beam, while the horizontal adjusting screw can be used to move the beam left or right. With the high beams on, the high-intensity zone should be vertically centered with the exact center just below the horizontal line. It is important to note that it may not be possible to perfectly position the headlight aim for both high and low beams, and if a compromise must be made, prioritizing the correct aim of the low beams is recommended. Ultimately, it is advisable to have the headlights adjusted by a dealer service department or qualified repair shop as soon as possible.
