AIM Headlights

How or where can I get my aerodynamic headlights adjusted on my F250? I put the 2003 style in last year and they don't seem to be aimed right. Do body shops or the Stealership have a tool/machine to do this?

THX,
Mike

You should be able to place the stock lenses in the new housings. I think that's your best bet.

its not that difficult to do yourself... check here for a procedure on doing it yourself if you dont want to track a shop down with aiming equipment..

Yeah with the exception of the funny car graphic ...LOL... I used this procedure a while ago on my celica... For some reason Celica versus DEER equals headlight problems.. After the reinstall I noticed the left side pointing towaards the trees to the left... I adjusted in my garage and all was good..

However another was to do it if your upgrading lamps which is LESS involved and requires no real measuring is to complete 1 side at a time...

For instancce if your current setup is good you can park in your garage and shoot the lights at the wall... Mark the centerpoint for standard and highbeam and then install 1 side...make adjustments so they match new vs old.... then do the other side and match. Ive done it that way on cars that have been hit on 1 side..
