Mopar 4857700AB Headlamp

The headlights have to be adjusted properly to reduce chances of dazzling other motorists which can cause serious accidents or reduce visibility. The aim should be checked at least once a year and whenever a new headlight housing has been fitted or front-end of the car has been tempered with. The following procedure is only a non-permanent solution before a professional does an alignment. A vertical adjustment screw is located at a hole in the radiator crossmember of the vehicles. They should be made on a level ground with the fuel tank full and the vehicle with its normal operating load. One of the simplest methods is taping with masking tape on the previously non-painted area of the blank wall the centerline of the vehicle and the pair of the headlight bulb with an additional horizontal line of masking tape for reference. Park the car at 25 feet range from the wall and the height from ground of the car should be with half tank of gas and no additional load. The high-intensity zone should be positioned two inches below the line that is horizontal line and two inches to the side of the headlight vertical line and not towards oncoming traffic. With the knock-down bar, the horizontal adjusting screw can be turned to shift the beam either to the left or right and that the lower beams will in the process adjust the upper beams as well. A proper alignment of the headlights should be done by a dealer service department or any service station as soon as possible.

Unplug the negative battery lead's cable, remove the headlight housing's retaining bolts unto the radiator crossmember releases it, slide out the headlight housing pieces, and disconnect both the front park signal/connectors from the turn signals and the headlight bulb. When replacing, use these specific steps to remove the front park and turn signal bulb or the headlight bulb. Undo installation as you did removal, and when finished, adjust your headlight positioning for proper light beam.

Unhook the cable from the black battery terminal. Take out the headlight mounting bolts to free the headlight housing you can remove from its holder on the radiator bar. Remove the headlight cover, then disconnect the wire plugs from both the front turn signal and parking light, and the headlight. For Town & Country models, pull the red latch release hook to the back, push the release tab, then disconnect the headlight bulb connector cable. If you want to fix, follow these directions. Take off the headlight bulbs the same way you put them on, readjusting the lights afterwards.
