Overview
Undoubtedly, Ford vehicles represent impeccable engineering and the promise of dependable performance. Whether you're towing a boat or hauling a trailer, your Ford is equipped to handle the extra weight. However, when you add weight to the rear of your vehicle, it causes the headlamps to appear higher than usual. This needs to be adjusted for an optimal lighting angle, especially for safe nighttime driving. Proper adjustment also ensures you're not blinding oncoming drivers. Interestingly, you can do this headlamp adjustment at home. All you need is a tape measure, some tape, a Phillips screwdriver and a basic understanding of the measurement guide.
Features
Ford vehicles come with two types of headlamps: HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lamps and halogen lamps. Recognizing your headlamp type is as easy as finding the VOL or VOR mark on them.
The HID headlamps offer stronger light output compared to traditional halogen lights. When adjusting, the top of the beam should be about two inches below your tape mark.
Halogen lamps, on the other hand, are a common choice in many vehicles due to their long lifespan and budget-friendly nature. When these lights are properly adjusted, the top of the beam should align perfectly with your tape mark.
