Default Headlight Adjustment

Just replaced headlights. Sure the beam location is not the same as the replaced lamps. Is there a procedure for aligning lamps?

Park it about 25ft from a garage door and get them level. Take it around the block and see if the driverside is focused to the right of the road centerline and the pass side is focused to the left of the edge of the road. If not try a couple of turns and repeat.

Thanks for the reply. If I hear you correctly the center spot on the garage door should be ~30" inches above the ground and they should crisscross to the outer limits of the lane. Good stuff. Thanks

Not crisscross but sort of side by side near the center of your lane.
