    How do you re-aim headlights? I had busted my left lamp and when I got a replacement, the left one is kinda out of focus.

    Actually I'm not really a DIY'er so the correct question is. Which pro does this and how much would it cost me to have it done.

    Regards,

    I had my lights aligned by CATS EDSA, damage was Php350.00 about a couple of years ago. But, imo hindi maganda ang alignment na ginawa, too high and off-centered. I had to re-adjust everything myself. Pumunta ako sa gas station around 09:00PM and found a flat wall with even surface. Then followed the simple guidelines.

    Park your vehicle a foot away facing the wall. Mark the lines where your headlight beam is. Reverse your vehicle 7 meters in a straight line. Follow the guidelines on how to lower and center beam patterns. Ideally, it should be an inch lower and 2 inches to the right. This all depends how your headlight is configured. Whether you have single housing or dual headlight source.

    Adjusting it close to the wall will be useless because you can't see how the light beam pattern adjust.
