How do you adjust the beam of a headlight?
Block one of the headlights and look to see where the other beam hits the wall. It should fall at or below the horizontal tape line you marked and to the right of the vertical tape line. If it doesn’t, use the adjusters located on the headlight housing to adjust the beam until it hits the right spot on the wall.

Adjust the headlights until they shine on the tape.
