how to aim 200 1986

Brad,

Most garages use headlight alignment tools and will do it for a small charge. If you want to do it yourself, I recommend parking your car (with old lights in place)on a level surface about 6 feet from a wall or garage door. Shine the lights on the wall and mark where the center of the beam is on the wall with a piece of tape. Change the lights and then adjust the beam to center them on the tape spots.

If you already changed the lights about the best you can do is find another similar car and use its beams for the baseline and adjust your lights to its pattern.
