Let’s face it—halogen and incandescent headlight bulbs are a thing of the past. fanless, driverless LED headlight bulbs were used in this installation.

If your vehicle allows for horizontal adjustments, mark the distance between your headlight centers with two vertical lines of tape. These lines are important for projector headlights and/or lining up beam cutoff points. Repeat these tape lines for your other headlight.

6. Remove your headlight assembly if necessary, remove the current bulbs, and install your new LED bulbs. Check your owner’s manual for specific instructions on how to replace your headlight bulbs.

7. Depending on your vehicle, you may have to adjust your headlight beam before or after the assembly has been reinstalled. Your owner’s manual will explain how to adjust the beams. Align each headlight so that the top edge of the beam is at the same height as your horizontal line(s). If your headlights can be adjusted horizontally or produce two light cutoff points, use the vertical tape lines to align them properly.

3. Shake the vehicle to ensure that your suspension system is settled. For more precise adjustments, inflate all tires to their designated psi capacity and have someone sit in the driver’s seat. Also, make sure that your vehicle’s gas tank is at least half full.

4. Measure from the ground to the center of your headlight assembly where the bulb is located. This step must be done for all vehicles. If your vehicle allows for horizontal headlight adjustments in addition to vertical adjustments, it’s important that you also measure the distance between the centers of both headlight bulbs. The vehicle featured in this video allows for vertical headlight adjustments only; therefore, center lines aren’t necessary but are shown for demonstration purposes.

5. Turn on your low-beam headlights. Using painter’s tape, mark your headlight measurements on a flat wall. Measure from the ground up, and apply a horizontal line of tape to the wall; this line represents the top of your headlight beam. You can either apply one long, continuous line or small sections where the brightest areas of the headlight beams are shown.

If your vehicle allows for horizontal adjustments, mark the distance between your headlight centers with two vertical lines of tape. These lines are important for projector headlights and/or lining up beam cutoff points.

How secure is your property? Whether you own a home and/or run a business chances are that you want to keep your property as invulnerable as possible. It may not be possible to prevent all events that bring your property harm, but a Newton, MA alarm system will certainly reduce your risks!

Home and business security is something we take very seriously. Not only do we want to ensure the protection of your investments, but also the safety of your family or your employees. Burglar alarm systems can help deter break-ins, give you a peace of mind, and even reduce your property insurance costs.

Burglar alarm monitoring helps increase the security of your entire property. For businesses, this means your valuables, employees, customers, general property, and inventory. For homes the cost is even greater—alarm monitoring helps protect your family, pets, valuables, and your home in general.

The greatest benefit of monitoring is that law enforcement can and will be notified right away in the event of a break-in. In commercial settings, you have product options to choose from that allow this same type of response even during business hours. Wireless options allow you to get in touch with a security professional right away in the event of an emergency.

An alarm system, particularly security automation systems, can only work as well as they need to if they are professionally installed and serviced. We understand how legitimate of a concern home and commercial safety are, and that encountering problems with your security system can be detrimental.

If you are experiencing “false alarms” or are afraid that your security system isn’t working for some reason, give us a call right away. We want you to be able to rest assured that your property is safe and protected.
