Headlamp alignment....posted diagram

[PeterVarga]

A while ago a faq'er posted the diagram from the manual describing the proper method for aligning the headlamps of the '02. Tonight I tried this method and found that the aiming looked a bit higher than I though it should be. Any comments? It says aim the center of the low beams (?) at the marks on the wall. At '16 the level is the same as the height off the ground at the car. Shouldn't it taper downward a bit? I don't know....this is the first attempt. Any suggestions?

.....no taper down at 16 '

a follow up test of correct alignment

is to follow another car (not SUV) and

the top of your beam cut-off should

align with the base of the back window

not on the back of the drivers head or their interior mirror,
