It also requires that the headlights are properly aligned; if wrongly aligned, they can blind the driver of the oncoming car resulting to serious accidents or hinder visibility of the roads. Headlights should also always be aligned and this should be done within one year or when ever a new housing to the headlights is fitted or when the body front end has been worked on. There is the following correction until a proper equipped shop can make all the necessary corrections: Through a horizontal adjustment screw placed below the park/turn-signal light at the outer end of the assembly of the headlight housing, both the low and high beams can be adjusted. It has a screw that you can twist slowly using a Phillips screwdriver to do the adjustments. One of the easiest techniques of a headlight alignment is as follows; A headlight, masking tape, a blank wall, and a level floor. Tape horizontally on the wall across the vehicle centerline and the center line of the two bulb headlight then draw the second horizontal tape line parallel to the first above the center line of all headlights. By perhaps parking the vehicle just a few inches away it may easier to position the tape. They should be made with the vehicle parked in at least 25 FT distance from wall with it initially leveled with good ground, the current in gas tank half filled and no excess baggage. The high intensity zone should be relative to the horizontal line and the headlight vertical line and be located two inches below and two inches to the side of, away from oncoming traffic. The beam is shifted to the left or to the right by rotating the horizontal adjusting screw and the high beams in these aero-type headlights are synchronized with the low beams. Headlights must be aligned and should be done by the dealer service department or an Automobile Service Station as soon as possible.
