How to Adjust the Headlights in a Mitsubishi 3000GT

Most states have regulations that mandate the angle for the headlights on your Mitsubishi 3000GT. Mitsubishi recommends that you check the aim and adjust your headlights every 12 months or any time you replace a bulb or work on the front end.

Instructions

1

Put weight in the driver's seat to compensate for the lack of a driver. You should have at least a half-full tank of gas.

2

Park the front of your car on a level surface with your headlights facing a wall at least 6 feet high and 12 feet wide. The car should be 25 feet from the wall.

3

Find the distance from the center of each headlight, or the aim dot, to the ground. Place masking tape to mark these measurements.

4

Determine the location for your adjustment screws. On a Mitsubishi 3000GT, you should find the adjustment screws on the headlight assembly. On some models, you'll need to access the screws through holes.

5

Check the aim for your low beam headlights against the marks on the wall.

6

Insert a Philips or Torx screwdriver into the screws and twist. The headlights adjust individually. Ideally, you want the highest intensity zone-the brightest part of the light, not the high beams-to be slightly lower and to the right of the marks.

7

Adjust the aim of your high beam lights. Again make sure the beams point slightly down and to the right. You may not get both the low beam and high beam lights to hit the target area, so focus on the intensity you use the most.
