  Q: What precautions should be taken when aiming headlights to prevent blinding oncoming drivers and ensure road safety on Honda CR-V?

  A: One must be very careful about the direction in which headlights are to be aimed since misuse can cause serious damage like accident or can lead to blinding of the drivers of the incoming cars and poor illumination of the roads. The aim of the headlights should be checked at least once in a year and especially if there is a change of a single headlight or if there is any work done on the front end body. The following is a procedure that will give a temporary fix until an expert can accomplish an alignment. The vertical adjustment mechanism is positioned in the upper rear part of the headlight housing; to regulate this or that headlight, one has to turn the vertical adjuster with a Phillips screwdriver clockwise or counterclockwise depending on whether the headlight is required to be raised or lowered, respectively; there are no horizontal adj ustment screws. For easy adjustment, one can moisten the masking tape with water, find a blank wall and a level floor. Place vertical masking tape in line with the center line of the vehicle and the center line of both headlights and place a horizontal tape line with reference to the center line of all headlights when the vehicle is just a few inches away is ideal. Shift the position of the vehicle and park it 25 feet away from the wall, make it level, moderate fuel in the tank, and no extra load. While using low beams the high-intensity zone must be situated two inches below the horizontal line, but when the high beams are used the high-intensity zone must be in the middle just below the line. Because it might not be easy to optimize the beam for both high and low beams it is advisable to optimize the low beams for safety. Should there be issues arising in the process of adjustment, this call for an immediate contact with the dealer service department.
