Headlight aim procedure? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody have a favorite headlight aiming procedure?

I'm familiar with where the adjustment screws are; I just don't remember how far away from a wall you are supposed to park and where the four beams should be positioned.

Thanks -

Keith: Here in The peoples republic of NY, it's 25' and the "hotspot" cannot be any more than 8" above, below the centerline of the lamp or to the right of it and 0" to the left. Mine are set at L/S low, in one and down one inch. L/S high down 1 and 0. R/S, both lamps at 0. I switched the lamps to low in the bottom pocket and high in the top pocket. This works better on foggy nights. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
