A system and method for aligning a target (32) or light sensor (40) to a vehicle (24) for calibration of a sensor (34) or alignment of a light (114) on the vehicle (24) includes multiple non-contact wheel alignment sensors (28) for use in determining the orientation of the vehicle (24). A target adjustment frame (26) includes a target mount (90) moveably mounted on a base frame (60), and multiple actuators (74, 80, 88, 94) configured to selectively move the target mount (90) relative to the base frame (60), where the base frame (60) is in a known orientation. A computer system selectively actuates the actuators to position a target (32) or light sensor (40) relative to the vehicle (24), with the target mount (90) being moveable about a plurality of axes based on the determination of the orientation of the vehicle (24) relative to the target adjustment frame (26).
