A headlamp aiming tool includes a linear member and four legs, the first of which is connected with one end of the member and the second, third and fourth of which are adjustable relative to the linear member. The first and second legs of the tool are used to measure the distance between the headlamps of a vehicle and the height of the headlamps relative to the ground or floor. The tool may also be mounted on the vehicle via the first and second legs and a fastener connected with the third leg arranged between first and second legs. Lastly, the tool includes a laser device connected with the fourth leg which is also between the first and second legs. The laser device can be aligned with a centerline of the vehicle to direct a laser beam against a screen in front of the vehicle to indicate the vehicle centerline on the screen. The headlamp light and spacing measurements are used to provide headlamp center points on the screen and to determine the horizontal and vertical offset of the low beam light from each headlamp. The offset is used to adjust the headlamps so that they are properly aimed.
