[DML] Re: Headlight alignment

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is relatively easy to adjust the headlights. This is best done at
night against a wall. Take a car that has well-adjusted headlights and
park it about 20 feet from the wall. Turn the lights on and put a
piece of masking tale at the center of the beams on the wall. Now park
the Delorean in the same spot and adjust the headlights to the same
spots. This will get you close. When you drive the car you willl then
see what minor adjustments you will need to get it right on. Always
look for the bright spot in the center and put that where you want it,
the rest of the beam will be OK. Even when you take it to a shop, my
experience has been that you will still need to tweak the adjustments
a little to get it right.
