How to align Euro Headlights

[pkmaven]

Find a large, flat wall like behind a market.Drive your car to the wall until the bumper just touches. Mark where the exact focal point of the lights hit the wall on a piece of masking tape. Measure the distance between the light centers on the car and again on the wall until they match. Mark the middle of the line with a piece of tape. Mark a second line 3" below the first. Back the car up 25 feet. Line yourself up so the hood star is lined up with the center piece of tape on the wall. Move the car until you can accomplish this. Note that Euros have a low beam with a sharp cut off, the ligh pattern is flat and rises at a 45 degree angle on both sides. This is intentional to allow easy reading of roadside signs.

Make up-down adjustments so that the flat, horizontal part of the beam lands on the line that you measured 3" below the fist measurement. Align both beams so the cutoff where the beam rises at 45 degrees is equal on each side.
You're finished! The high beams will now be aligned perfectly! P.

IT's kinda ghetto lol :P

I need mine aligned, I was actually gonna do the whole "go behind a donutshop" deal, but I'm just gonna take it to my indy who has a real machine who will do this thing right :)

Your Indi would do the same thing :P

Shops do the same thing... as far as lining up the angle on the wall.
