Aiming headlights - 70 series? (1 Viewer)

[Island Moose]

With the snow came the highway trucks with their gravel...and thus went my left front headlight lens.

I ordered a new pair of Hella 7" fixtures and 24v bulbs, but what is involved in aiming them? I have a magnetic laser level and a garage with a bare wall. What is the correct procedure?

stick the new ones, get close to where you think they should be and drive to a garage with a head light aligment setup and you are good to go...
or keep trying till on coming drivers quit flashing you...

I may have found some good info here: http://www.coolbulbs.com/HID-VISUAL-HEADLIGHT-AIMING-PROCEDURE.pdf


Seems a few measurements are required first.

There is also a goodly amount of aiming info (and other lighting information in general) on Daniel Stern's site: http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/aim/aim.html

It's not that big of deal to do yourself. The hardest part is finding a big flat area with a wall at the end of it. Good luck.
