Lower the driver's side of the cover and slide the three tabs on the cover into the three slots in the housing. 8. Lower the passenger's side of the cover. Engage the two clamps to secure the cover to the housing. ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant. If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps should be checked by your authorized dealer. Vertical Aim Adjustment The headlamps on your vehicle can only be vertically adjusted. Your vehicle does not require horizontal aim adjustments. To adjust the headlamps: 1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern. 2013 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
