An Update Concerning Headlamp Aim

[Jake0811]

Finally home after doing some work on one of my other vehicles. Decided to check up on my lights.

The aim is still off for the driver side light. It's still "down" even though i had adjusted it all the way to where the gear stops on the back of the light assembly. At this point I might just leave it. As long as I can see at night I'm okay with that.

I did not get a photo showing the headlamp aim but maybe down the road I can change out the entire housing with an OEM Ford headlamp housing. Until then, gonna enjoy the car and stop nitpicking every little thing like most car dudes do, lmao.

An OEM headlamp assembly has a MSRP of $710.55 for the driver's side. The passenger side is a little cheaper. There's also discounts from Tasca Ford and others that will bring it down considerably, but be aware of shipping costs. This price check was for a '14 SHO.

I adjusted mine up to where they needed to be by shimming the headlight assembly mounts with washers. I needed to after shoving a 3inch pipe into the headlight.

Typically on any vehicle, the right lamp AIM is slightly higher for road signs fwiw.

Actually, both headlights should be aimed alike. The beam pattern is higher to the right side on both headlights.
