Another "Stupid Jeff" question. Headlight aligning?

[Evil Jeff]

Do I? Simple enough.

Got a new(er) set of headlight assemblies from Gabe today (thanks again!). Should have asked him while he was here, but is there anything special I have to do to these besides just bolting them in? Other than bulbs, I have replaced a complete headlight since my high school/Trans Am days, and I want to make sure I don't much it up.

just bolt them in they should be adjust to the right setting already ;D

 

[Evil Jeff]

Shoulda guessed you'd be the one to respond. You the mang, mang! ;D

Nigel's Non-Factory-Approved Midnite Self Aiming Procedure: (can also be found on tech section of rallylights.com)

park 25' for a wall. low beams on.

cutoff line of low bam's obscured area should be same height as bulbs are off ground, to 1" lower. adjust vertical aiming screws as needed (these are on inside of headlight unit, reasonably easy to get at)

adj beams side to side so V of cutoff is centered ahead of car. (side adjuster is not so easy to get at, futhrer down on back of headlight unit)

test drive: if oncoming traffic flashes at you or waves weapons in your general direction, try again.

are they all installed and ready for the trip?
