Attention! Headlight alignment should be checked every 12 months, when a headlight is replaced or after a front end repair. The described procedure allows only approximately adjusting the headlights, fine adjustment is carried out in a car service.
Screen layout for headlight beam adjustment
1. A line from the floor to the center of the headlights; 2. Light spot area; 3. Line at a distance from the axis of symmetry of the car to the center of the headlights; Distance 25 ft = 7.5 m; 4. The front plane of the headlight; 5. Axis of symmetry of the car
Adjustment
2. There are 2 adjustment screws on the body of the halogen headlight - screws for the horizontal (A) and vertical (IN) headlight adjustment.
3. The easiest way to adjust is to set the beam according to the markings on the screen (wall).
4. Mark with tape the crosshairs corresponding to the centers of the headlights.
5. Install the car 7.5 m from the wall.
6. Adjustment is carried out with normal loading of the car and a half-empty tank.
7. Position the dipped beam headlights so that the light spot is 5 cm below the horizontal and 5 cm to the right of the vertical. To lift the beam, turn the screw clockwise and vice versa. The same applies to left-right adjustment. Turn on your high beam headlights and adjust the beam so that the spot is strictly on a vertical line, just below the horizontal.
Attention! It may not be possible to precisely set the high and low beams in this way. In this case, try to more accurately adjust the dipped beam, with which you have to drive more often and on which traffic safety depends to a greater extent.
8. Have your headlights adjusted by a workshop as soon as possible.
