Methods for aiming a headlamp assembly of a vehicle having an aiming bracket and a sensor coupled to the aiming bracket. The method includes adjusting the aiming bracket such that an optical axis of the optical assembly inside of the headlamp assembly is parallel to a predetermined axis). The method further includes storing an output of the sensor when the optical axis is parallel to the predetermined axis. The method further includes installing the headlamp assembly into the vehicle. The method further includes adjusting the aiming bracket such that the output of the sensor equals the stored output.

A method for mounting vehicle elements of a motor vehicle rear end of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a body on which a rear-end covering, rear lights and a trim are mounted. The mounting sequence is chosen in such a way that first of all the rear-end covering is arranged and fastened on the body, then the rear lights are arranged with orientation on the rear-end covering and then the trim is arranged with orientation on the rear-end covering and on the rear lights.

A system and method for determining alignment of a first part relative to a second part includes an alignment gauge body including a first portion for resting against the first part and a second portion for positioning juxtaposed to the second part and a measuring device fixedly coupled to the alignment gauge body. The measuring device generates a distance signal corresponding to a distance between a first face of the first part and the second face of the second part. A controller coupled to the gauge device and a memory. The controller is programmed to store a vehicle identification number (VIN) in the memory and compare the distance. The controller associates the VIN and the distance in the memory. The controller compares the distance to a threshold and setting a flag in response to comparing. A display coupled to the controller displays an indicator corresponding to the flag.
