Proper headlight aim is crucial for safe driving and to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. The AS Headlight Assembly includes integrated adjusters for both high and low beams. To adjust:
- Park your vehicle on a level surface approximately 25 feet from a wall or garage door.
- Measure the height from the ground to the center of your headlight's low beam bulb. Mark this height on the wall.
- Turn on your low beams. The top edge of the low beam cut-off should be at or slightly below the marked line on the wall.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to turn the adjustment screws located on the back of the headlight assembly (refer to Image 3.2). Turn clockwise to raise the beam and counter-clockwise to lower it.
- Repeat for the other headlight. Ensure both headlights are aimed correctly.
