Adjust Headlights Using a Wall

Apply tape to a wall 23.6 in (60 cm) from the ground.

Apply Tape to Wall
Apply tape to the floor 31.1 ft (9.5 m) from the wall.

Note: EU vehicles require a 1 to 1.5 degree downward inclination in the headlight beam. For example, a vehicle parked 10 m from the wall would have 10 cm beam drop, from 70 cm height at the lens to 60 cm height at the wall.
Park the vehicle on a flat surface perpendicular to a wall, aligning the front fascia with the tape on the floor.

Apply Tape to Floor and Align Front Fascia
Make sure that all 4 tires are inflated to specification.
Use a laser measure to make sure the vehicle is positioned perpendicular to the wall. Measure the distance from the center of both front wheels to the wall. Both measururements from the center of the wheels to the wall should be equal. If the measurements are unequal, re-position vehicle accordingly.
Use a laser measure to determine the center point of the vehicle. Hold the laser measure perpendicular to the wall and project the laser onto the center point of the vehicle. Mark the center line on the wall with a piece of tape.

Alignment Targets
Measure 28 in (72 cm) horizontally on either side of the center line, and then mark these measurements with a piece of tape.

Measure 72 cm from Center
Add a vertical strip of tape to both marks made in the step above to make targets for the horizontal headlight alignment.
