Turn on your headlights so they shine onto the wall. • Step 2: Mark the points of the beams • Mark with tape the places on the wall where each beam is most concentrated. Use a level to see if the lights are of equal height and measure the difference if they are uneven. • Step 3: Measure the space in between • Measure the space between the marks. Use these marks if the lights need horizontal adjustment. • Step 4: Mark desired spot with tape • Place strips of tape at the spots you want to adjust to. Your vertical and horizontal adjustment spots will be used for reference but are not necessarily set in stone. • Step 5: Open the hood and find adjusters • Open the hood of your car and locate your adjuster screws. Each headlight has one screw on the top of the headlight, and one on the side. • Tip • Sometimes there's a decorative ring around the headlight. You may have to use a screwdriver to remove the ring to access the adjustment screws. • Step 6: Adjust the vertical beam • Adjust the height of the beam by turning the top screw. • Tip • Avoid making your beam too high -- you don't want to blind other drivers. • Step 7: Adjust the horizontal beam • Adjust the horizontal placement of the beam by turning the side screw. Use your measurement of the distance between the beams to assist your adjustment. • Step 8: Test your adjustments • Test your adjustments by sitting in the driver's seat and looking at the beams on the wall. Go for a night drive to see if you're satisfied with the changes made. • Did You Know? • According to the National Safety Council, traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day.
