2. There are 2 adjustment screws on the halogen headlight housing – screws for horizontal (A) and vertical (B) headlight adjustment.
3. The simplest way to adjust is to install the beam according to the markings on the screen (wall).
4. Use tape to mark the crosshairs corresponding to the centers of the headlights.
5. Place the car 7.5 m from the wall.
6. The adjustment is performed with the vehicle normally loaded and the tank half empty.
7. Set the low beam headlights so that the light spot is located 5 cm below the horizontal and 5 cm to the right of the vertical. To raise the beam, turn the screw clockwise and vice versa. The same applies to left-right adjustment. Turn on the high beam headlights and adjust the beam so that the spot is strictly on the vertical line, directly under the horizontal.
Attention! It may be impossible to precisely adjust the high and low beams in this way. In this case, try to more accurately adjust the low beam, which you have to drive with more often and on which traffic safety depends to a greater extent.
8. Have your headlights adjusted at a car service center as soon as possible.
