Aiming head lights on a 01 379 need measurements for aim points

Just do what everyone else seems to do. And point them right into on comming drivers eyes. Oh and leave brights on all the time.

 

Find a wall, get a pair of screwdrivers, find the adjustment points on them things adjust them until you are happy with it.

The day that enforcement goes nuts over headlights that blind everyone coming on is a black day indeed. Until then just wall em and be happy.

 

Aiming headlights is simple and shouldn't take more that 30 minutes
Done in a shop (so sunlight doesn't interfere is best)
Procedures for the DIY mechanics 4 headlight system...
1. Make sure your suspension is fully aired up.
2. Make sure truck is level and facing a wall or something similar.
- distance should be 6' to 8' or less.
3. Have several towels or rags available.
**** measurung distances ...
LOW BEAMS
A. Measure on truck, center to center between low beams. (example 63 inches)
Measure from the ground to center of low beams (example 36 inches)
B. On a wall, mark your width, then your height (you may have to mark and measure several times on the wall until you get the exact center between height and width for each low beam.)
C. Do this for both sides.
(ultimately you should have 2 "x's" on the wall. One for the right side and one foe the left side)
4. Cover left lowbeam with rag/towel.
5. Turn on headlights (high beams off)
6. Adjust right lowbeam until it hits the height width mark on the wall.
7. Now cover right lowbeam
8. Uncover left lowbeam and adjust until it hits your height width mark on the wall.
HIGH BEAMS
1. Cover low beams
2. Cover right high beam
3. Adjust left high beam until it hits just INSIDE height / width measurement on the wall for left lowbeam
4. Cover left high beam
5. Uncover right high beam
6. Adjust right high beam until it hits just INSIDE the height /width measurement on the wall for the right lowbeam.
****uncover all lights
Sit in cab and switch back and forth between your high and low beams while smiling

****uncover all lights.
**** make any fine tuning adjustments
***** FYI... Nothing should be between the truck and wall. Wall should be flat and level. Ground should be flat and level.
