Headlamp Aiming
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The headlamp aiming procedure depends on what type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with. Vehicles may come equipped with visually optically aligned left (VOL) or visually optically aligned right (VOR) headlamps. To identify the headlamp beam pattern, look on the headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the following:
- VOL and SAE
- VOR and SAE
-
NOTE: Mechanical aimers cannot be used with VOR- or VOL-type headlamps.
Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods:
- Photometric aimers can aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps. This is the preferred method of headlamp aiming.
- Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim VOL- and VOR- headlamps.
