Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Headlamp Capsules and Headlamps

The headlamps are controlled by the headlamp switch located on the headlamp and instrument panel lamp dimmer switch to the left of the steering column. They will come on with the ignition switch in any position. Turning the headlamp switch all the way to the right turns on the headlamps. Turning the headlamp switch all the way to the left turns off the headlamps.

Headlamp low beam and high beam are controlled by the headlamp dimmer switch lever on the left side of the steering column. When the headlamps are on, pulling the lever toward the driver until the switch clicks changes the lamp from low beam to high beam, or from high beam to low beam. An indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will come on when the high-beam headlamps are on.

The headlamps must be aimed for proper illumination of the road. Headlamp aim should he checked whenever a new headlamp is installed or service repairs to the front end area may have disturbed the headlamp or its mountings.
IMPORTANT
^ Some state and local laws specify requirements for headlamp aim. These laws must be followed.
