roadster, schmodster, it's all the same,
hopefully you have one of the two beams left, simply place a circle on the
wall using the working beam, outlining the brightest spot..
then pull out the old bulb, put in the new one, and with the same beam,
simply adjust it to the circle made by the old one.
Now if you do not have the old bulb working, as a rock hit or a fender
crunch, then find the beam circle on the other headlight, then draw a circle
at the same height to the side the distance from one headlight to the other,
since they should be pointed in the same direction, right?.... and adjust to
it.
If you are putting in both and need a complete aiming, most auto (or former)
inspection stations have a headlight alignment machine, and they will do for
just a few bucks.

Subject: Headlight alignment?
Hi List,
Does anyone know how to align the roadster headlights? Is there a spec for
where the spot should be on a wall at some distance from the front of the
car?
