Hope this gives the information you need.

Headlamp Alignment Preparation

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT PREPARATION
  1. Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam indicator operation.
  2. Inspect and correct damaged or defective components that could interfere with proper headlamp alignment.
  3. Verify proper tire inflation.
  4. Clean headlamp lenses.
  5. Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.
  6. Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5 lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.
Alignment Screen Preparation
  1. Position the vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from the front of headlamp lens (NOTE: If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62 meters (25 ft.) away from, and parallel to the wall).
  2. From the base of the wall, measure up 1.27 meters (5 ft.) , and tape a line on the wall at the center line of the vehicle. Sight along the center line of the vehicle (from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of the line placement.
  3. Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow suspension to stabilize.
  4. Jounce front suspension three times by pushing downward on front bumper and releasing.
  5. Measure the distance from the center of headlamp lens to the ground. Transfer measurement to the Alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for up/down adjustment reference.
  6. Measure distance from the center line of the vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned. Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each side of vehicle center line.
Description and Operation

The Headlamp Unit is a housing that integrates separate bulbs for low beam (3) and high beam (1) headlamps. It also includes the turn signal bulbs (2) and front position bulbs (6). The low beam, high beam and turn signal bulbs are enclosed with access covers for protection. One single harness connector (5) supplies power from fuses within the Illumination Control Module/IP fuse block, and ground. The entire Headlamp Unit is mounted onto the front of the core support structure and aimed with built in adjustment screws (4).
