01-05 GS Headlight Alignment
EDIT: Added instructions and replaced dead linked pictures with new pictures. Debonair.
After adjusting the headlight in the vertical direction, check that the light has been shifted from the adjusted position in the horizontal direction.
- Inspect the headlights aiming. Do the following items before inspection:
- Make sure the body around the headlight is not deformed.
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Tire inflation pressure is at the specified value.
- The driver gets into the driver's seat and puts the vehicle in a state ready for driving (with a full tank).
- Bounce the vehicle several times.
- Adjust the headlight aiming.
- Vertical Alignment - If the bubble is out of the acceptable range of the beam angle gauge, adjust it using bolt "A".
- Horizontal Alignment - If the edge of the lens does not match the 0 mark, adjust the lens using bolt "B".

Is there a PDF version of this? I would actually like to print it off and take it to the car with me to do it right. Plus I could have a copy for future references.
thanks...

I suscribe. I did it before myself, but is good to have this just in case if I forget something later.

Thanks for update. I assume this is the same for HID and Halogen.
