Headlamp Aiming

1. The headlamp aiming procedure depends on what type of beam pattern the headlamp is equipped with. To identify the headlamp beam pattern, look on the headlamp lens. Molded in small letters on the headlamp lens is one of the following: SAE VOL VOR
2. Once the headlamp beam pattern is identified, aim the headlamps using one of the following methods as applicable. Photometric aimers can aim SAE, VOL and VOR type headlamps. This is the preferred method of headlamp aiming. Visual or screen method aiming can be used to aim SAE, VOL and VOR type headlamps. Mechanical aimers can only be used with SAE type headlamps. Lamps that can be aimed mechanically will have three nibs molded into the lens of the lamp.

Photometric Aiming

1. For the photometric aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate photometric headlamp aimer instruction manual.

All Headlamp Types

Note. Horizontal aim is not necessary for VOL or VOR headlamps.

Note. Consult your state vehicle inspection manual for recommended tolerance ranges for visual aiming.

Note. The sight shield may need to be positioned or removed for access to the adjusters.

Scheme 77

Scheme 78

1. Before starting headlamp adjustment: Check the tire inflation. Check that no other load is in the vehicle other than a half tank of fuel. Check that the headlamps are clean. Check for correct headlamp operation. Check that the vehicle is on level ground. If the vehicle is equipped with air suspension, make sure that the switch is on.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface approximately 7.6 meters (25 feet) from the vertical wall or screen directly in front of it.
3. Mark a horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen. Measure the center of the headlamp height to ground and record. Make a 2.4 meters (8 feet) horizontal mark (masking tape) on the vertical wall or screen at the same distance from the ground as previously recorded.
4. Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood.
5. On the wall or screen, locate the high intensity area of the beam pattern. Place the top edge of the high intensity zone even with the horizontal reference line.
6. VOR Type Headlamps Identify at the top edge of this high intensity area a distinct horizontal cutoff in the beam pattern. If the top edge of this cutoff is not even with the horizontal reference line, the headlamp beam will need to be adjusted.
7. VOL Type Headlamps For VOL type headlamps, there will be a distinct cutoff in the left portion of the beam pattern. The edge of this cutoff should be positioned 50.2 mm (2 in) below the horizontal reference line. Horizontal reference line. Top edge of the beam pattern. High intensity zone.

Mechanical Aiming

1. For the mechanical aiming procedure, refer to the appropriate mechanical headlamp aimer instruction manual.
