Pontiac Repair: Headlight, gm parts, oncoming drivers


Question
Where would you get replacement parts for the alignment of a headlight? And how would you do it?

The car is a 2001 Grand Am

Answer
Hi,Josh

Headlamp parts are availible through GM parts,as far as alignment the best way to do this is with a headlight aiming machine,but ive done in against a wall or garage door,make sure the car is parked on a level surface,then it should be about 25 feet from a flat surface,like a wall or garage door,turn headlamps on,and check the alignment,the left headlamp should be slightly turned into the right side also headlamps height should be about 6in below the hood line as not to blind oncoming drivers,i would have a shop do the aim with a machine if they are way out of adjustment.
