This document is an exploded/callout diagram showing the headlamp aiming (adjustment) components on a headlamp assembly. The illustration, referenced by figure number K24158-A, depicts a headlamp unit viewed from the rear/top with five numbered callouts pointing to specific adjustment features. An accompanying table identifies each item: Item 1 is the Ratchet (Horizontal), Item 2 is the Degree Gauge (Horizontal), which is part of assembly 13005, Item 3 is the Bubble Gauge (Vertical), also part of 13005, Item 4 is the Ratchet (Vertical), and Item 5 is the Headlamp itself, base part number 13008. A reader can learn where the horizontal and vertical aiming ratchets are located on the back of the headlamp housing, and that the assembly includes built-in aiming gauges, a degree gauge for horizontal aim and a bubble (level) gauge for vertical aim, allowing the headlamps to be aimed without external aiming equipment. The document was uploaded as a Gen 3 Ford Taurus (claimed 1997) headlight adjustment reference; the diagram itself does not state a year or model, but nothing visible contradicts that application.
