LED Headlights

Hi,

There is a way to aim your headlight. I pull my car up to the garage door, and turn them on (after dark). Measure the center of the bright part. Then turn them off, and measure the center of the headlight to the ground at the grill area. This will give you a indication if the car headlight is being pointed upward or downward, or straight ahead and level. Then pull the car back about 20 feet, and measure the center of the light to the ground again. Try again at about 30'. If the car headlights are pointed level, then the hieght from the ground to the center of the light beam should stay stable about the whole test.

If say the bumper measurement is 20" above the ground, and the light on the door is close to 20" while the car is parked 5' from the garage door, yet 18" at 20' and 15" at 30' distance, then the headlights are pointed downward, and will not offer much light performance while driving. You only need to make an adjustment to bring the light back to level.

I like it when my headlights are pointed nearly level, but a bit downward. They should also not point to the left (into the oncoming drivers) but more to the sholder of the road.

You might also have a problem with the light being pointed to far to the center of the road, while the signs are on the right side.

Also a good idea is to check the weight of the coach. If you have a broken air bag on the rear suspension, it can cause the headlights to point "to the moon" as they say. Overloading one end or the other can also cause the headlight aim to by way off.

You also do not want to set the lights, then add 100 gallons of water to the coach, and have the aim go off again because of the weight being added while getting ready for camping.

There are a few vehicles with them but the whole reflector assembly has to be designed around them. Sadly, I don't think there will ever be a replacement bulb or retrofit kit available.
