aiming headlights.

i just put in a pair of sylvania silverstars, i was driving in the fog the other day and i noticed that the pass side light was shining straight up into oncoming traffic. how do i aim the lights so as not to blind people?

There are two adjustment screws (with springs). One screw is designed for vertical adjustment, and the other is for horizontal adjustment.

Check local guidelines for the height that the headlights need to be for proper adjustment - and point them in that general direction. You can use a standard small car to help adjust the lights so that they do not blind fellow drivers.

Shookwell, I used the same method on my Jeep as I use on motorcycles and it works great. Park exactly 25' away from a level wall and adjust the lights so the beams are the same height and alignment as your head lights.

P.S. I have read your signature poem/writeup 10 times and was wondering if you could provide a little insight to it's meaning (I am slow).

Later,
Doug

Here is an easy way to do it. Put your front bumper against the wall and turn on your lights. Mark the spot the beams shine with a piece of tape. Back the vehicle about 25ft (+-) adjust the high beams to shine on the tape from distance.
