  Q: Why is it important to aim headlights correctly and how should they be adjusted on Pontiac Fiero?

  A: This is because the headlights should be working well and should also not be blinding other drivers on the road and at the same time, they should also be aimed properly to have the best vision on the road. The headlights should be tested for correct alignment once every 12 months and when a new sealed beam headlights are fitted, or when front end bodywork is done. The headlights have two spring-loaded adjusting screws: A steeper was one on the top moving up and down and another on the side moving left and right. One of the easiest techniques in headlight correcting entails having a plain wall twenty-five feet in front of the car and a horizontal floor. First start by parallel parking it 25 feet away from the wall and then place a tape vertically on the wall to stand parallel to that of the centre line of the automobile and the centre line of the two headlights. A horizontal tape line should be placed in relation to centerline of the headlights, this may be a little difficult while one is trying to park the car, this is easier when one moves the car a few inches back. These changes should be done with the vehicle level, the gas tank half-full and with no abnormally heavy load. For low beam adjustment the high-intensity zone should be located two inches below the horizontal line and two inches right of the headlight vertical line, and to adjust the beam up and down the top adjusting screw should be used and to adjust it left and right the side screw should be used. If high beams are activated the high intensity zone has to lie halfway right under the horizontal line, nevertheless it is virtually impossible to strike both high and low beams; however low beams have to have priority for the benefit of the drivers.
