Headlamp Alignment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method provided. Alignment Tool C-4466-A or equivalent can also be used. Refer to the instructions provided with the tool for proper procedures.



A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project a high intensity light pattern on the screen with the horizontal cut-off line aligned with the tape line 125 mm. (1.0 in.) below the headlamp centerline. The intersection of the horizontal and 15 degree cut-off lines in the projected pattern should align to the intersection of the headlamp centerline vertical tape line and the tape line 25 mm. (1.0 in.) below the headlamp horizontal centerline. The high beam pattern should be correct when the low beams are aligned properly.

To adjust low beam, headlamp, rotate alignment screws ( Fig 1 ) to achieve the specified aim.
