Headlight Alignment

Thu 03 Jan 2013 08:32:06 PM
After a recent drive in the fog and able to see my headlights are very good at stargazing I need to adjust them. I consulted the haynes manual and as expected a waste of time. It’s been a while since I did a headlight alignment and back then I had a graph so I could mark out a suitable wall and align the lights, it must have come from an old haynes manual when it gave you useful information.

Has any one got the measurement so I can mark up my wall and align my lights?

Cheers

I just point my car down a long straight level back alley/road and adjust the dipped lights till the top of the beams just meet the horizon.

with normal weight distribution btw: boot is empty, fully fuelled, all tyre pressures correct
