Passing Lamp Adjustment

[MikeWa]

Just an idea I thought I would pass along.

Adjusting the passing lamps is such a pain in the a-hold I decided to find an easier way. Checking the alignment and tightening the adjustment nuts with the sealed beams out was the issue for me. They always moved and I could never get them exactly where I wanted them. So I made a tool to help with the job. It is very simple and I made it out of a piece of scrap wood. The notch goes around the headlight and butts up to the passing light housings. The housings will be held pointed straight ahead. Then I use a small level from Harbor Freight for the vertical setting. This makes it easy to keep them both the same when I tighten things up.

Very nice. I have one of my lamps pointing the wrong way and you are right aligning these lamps are mostly trial and error. I have been putting of adjusting it for a while now because it is a pain. Thanks for the great tip.
