How To Aim Headlights with Hoppy Aimers -EricTheCarGuy

Hoppy's have been used for many years to align headlights. In this video I walk you through the steps of how to aim headlights with Hoppy aimers. I also cover how to set up the tool for floor slope and also show how to use the different attachments for curved headlights. You can still pick up this tool on some auction sites at a reasonable price but I don't think they make them anymore. That said, it's still nice to know how to use this old school equipment.
