Every 12 months or anytime you change the bulb for the headlight in your Dodge Durango, you should check the trajectory path for you headlights and adjust them to ensure proper alignment. While Dodge recommends you only allow an authorized service to make adjustments, any do-it-yourself fan can adjust the headlights.

Find a level surface near a wall and pull your Dodge Durango in so it almost touches the wall. With the SUV in park (and the emergency brake dispensed), leave your headlights on and get out. Mark the center of each headlight on the wall with masking tape or a writing utensil.
2Back your Dodge Durango away from the wall until you reach a distance of 20 to 25 feet from the wall. Park and leave your headlights on.
3Locate the vertical adjustment screws which should be under each headlight. You may need to remove the bezel to see the screws. Dodge only uses a vertical adjustment on the Dodge Durango, so don't waste time looking for the horizontal adjustment.
4Use a Torx tool head or an Allen wrench to adjust the vertical adjustment screw. Keep an eye on the mark on the wall. The high intensity zone for each headlight should hit 3 inches below the center of your line. Any higher and you will blind oncoming drivers.
For confirming that your car has proper headlight alignment , we recommend you to take your car first on a test drive on road. If in case, you feel improper adjustment and alignment, then you should take it to the nearby quick fit centre of some reliable company like Rathdowney Quick Fit Company. Feel free to take the services again and again until you find the right position and alignment of your headlights.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever driven your car on a road while when its headlight alignment was poorly managed and you barely see anything present in your vicinity at the road? Did you know earlier that the car headlights which are aimed too low can greatly reduce your visibility especially at night, similar to those headlights which are aimed too high and affect others’ visibility.
ReplyDeleteProper headlight alignment is crucial for one’s safety on the road. But sometimes, unfortunately, car headlights get misaligned anonymously by themselves, which should not happen though. Besides aiming headlight, another significant thing to consider is the worn-out bulbs. The bulbs present both at the front and back have filaments, which tend to expand over the course of their lives.
