MikeWa Posted September 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 6, 2011 Just an idea I thought I would pass along. Adjusting the passing lamps is such a pain in the a-hold I decided to find an easier way. Checking the alignment and tightening the adjustment nuts with the sealed beams out was the issue for me. They always moved and I could never get them exactly where I wanted them. So I made a tool to help with the job. It is very simple and I made it out of a piece of scrap wood. The notch goes around the headlight and butts up to the passing light housings. The housings will be held pointed straight ahead. Then I use a small level from Harbor Freight for the vertical setting. This makes it easy to keep them both the same when I tighten things up.

Chinto Posted September 7, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 7, 2011 Very nice. I have one of my lamps pointing the wrong way and you are right aligning these lamps are mostly trial and error. I have been putting of adjusting it for a while now because it is a pain. Thanks for the great tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
