A headlamp aiming apparatus is provided for attachment to an automotive headlamp assembly comprising a support member which is rigidly mountable to an automotive vehicle, a reflector which is mounted to the support member for pivotal motion about at least one of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis for aiming of the headlamp beam, and a headlamp adjusting assembly operatively coupled with the support member for aiming of the headlamp beam. The aiming apparatus comprises a first aiming indicia movable in unison with the headlamp adjusting assembly and a second aiming indicia independent of the headlamp adjusting assembly. An indicator alignment arrangement moves one of the first and second indicia independently of the headlamp adjusting means for bringing the first and second aiming indicia into registry with each other when the reflector is in a condition wherein the beam is aimed as desired responsive to adjustment by the headlamp adjusting assembly. The headlamp adjusting assembly may be adjusted thereafter as necessary until the aim-indicating arrangement indicates the aimed condition to thereby assure proper subsequent aiming of the headlamp beam.
