Aiming headlights

[Car #4]

I had the Charger out this evening and returned after dark. That's likely the first time I've been out with it after dark in three years. It reminded me that I need to get my headlights aimed better. What's the procedure for this?

I use my white garage door inside in the dark and work from there.....gives me something to point them at to see how far I am off from each other as well.

I'd recommend doing a search on YouTube. Seeing how its done is easier than reading how its done. Doesn't have to be Charger specific, as long as its the older sealed beam, the same basic info applies.

Park on a level surface. I did mine at a large wall at a walmart, used a screwdriver , and adjusted the headlight adjustors. Phillips screw driver is all you need. You should be able to get the lights where you want them.

So simple that it's extremely complicated for most people!!!!!!!

shine them on the wall....... or score a vintage Hoppy headlight adjuster tool

That's exactly what I did, found a Hoppy alignment kit online cheap. Works very well and night driving is better than ever now. Amazing difference, although they are still old tech sealed beams.

I start about 25 feet from a wall, on known level ground.

Then I verify on a dark, country road.

I put the left down slightly and right a bit and the right up slightly.

Here you go. Like others have suggested just shine them on a wall on a flat surface. I've been doing that for as long as I can remember.
