Should the lamps get out of focus or alignment they should
immediately be refocused and realigned. Ford dealers are
equipped to do this work, or if you have the proper facilities
you can make the adjustment.
Focusing and Aligning Headlamps
Align and focus headlamps \ ith empty car standing on a
level surface in front of
a white wall or screen 25 feet from
front of headlamps. This wall must be in semi-darkness or
sufficiently shielded from direct light so that the light spots
from the headlamps can be clearly seen. The
wall must be
marked off
wi h black lines as shown in Figs. 18 and 19. Details
for making the layout are shown in Fig. 20.
Focus
1. Lens must be installed in door with the word "top" at
top of door and with all lettering reading properly from front.
2. Turn on upper beam.
3. Focus by means of screw at back of lamps, first one lamp
and then the other, adjusting the bulb filament at the focal
center of the reflector to obtain an ~ongated elliptical spot of
light on the wall, with its long axis horizontal (see Fig.
18).
In focusing, adjust the bulb to obtain as good contrast and as
well-defined cut-off across the top of the spot of light as possible.
