The headlights require to be aimed in the right manner to prevent a situation whereby you are blinding other drivers on the road also to ensure that you have adequate illumination when driving on the road. The aim should be checked annually or when a new headlight has been installed or front-end bodywork done. Below is the procedure one can follow to have a temporary realignment until one can seek the services of an expert to do the right alignment. It is recommended to start the process with the help of masking tape, blank wall, and the level floor for an adjustment. Set vertical tape line touching the centerline of the car and right and left head lamp centerlines as well, and ran a horizontal tape line at the headlamp centerline while parking the vehicle few inches away. These conditions include parking the vehicle twenty-five feet away from one of the walls, placing it horizontally, having a full tank of gasoline, and no load should be loaded into the car before the experiment. With the low beams on, set the high intensity elevation to be two inches below the horizontal line by use of the adjusting screw. As for the high beams, adjust the position of high intensity zone to be located at the centre of the light low the horizontal line. Sometimes, it may be challenging to have a perfect orientation for the high beam and the low beam; hence, ensure to have an orientation for the low beam in the interest of the drivers. Last of all, take the car either to a dealer or a service station where the headlights should be correctly aligned as soon as possible.
