Instructions
Step 1
The direction of the light beam is influenced by many factors, from the condition of the suspension, headlamps and tire pressure. Check the condition of these elements, and if you find any malfunctions, fix them. Make sure the tire pressures are the same. Replace darkened lamps with new ones.
Step 2
Refuel the machine with fuel only half full. For more accurate adjustments, have someone help you. The duties of the assistant include getting into the driver's seat while adjusting the lighting fixtures.
Step 3
Choose a flat area (at least 7.5 m) for adjusting the headlights with an adjacent wall or gate. Bring the car very close to the wall and use chalk to project the middle of the front of the car and the center of each headlight onto its surface.
Step 4
Measure from the wall with a tape measure seven and a half meters and set a stick or pole a little to the side in this place. Drive the car back from the wall to that mark. Draw a straight line between the centers of the headlights marked on the wall. And in the center marks themselves, draw one vertical line.
Step 5
Step down 7.5 cm from the horizontal line and draw another one parallel to the first. You can also transfer all the above lines to the wall using a tape measure. To do this, it is enough, having driven the car close to the wall, mark only the center of the front part of the body. Then you need to measure the distance between the headlights and from the headlights to the ground with a tape measure and transfer them to the wall.
Step 6
Turn on the headlights. Each of them should be configured individually. Cover the right headlight with a piece of cardboard and adjust the left one by moving the reflector horizontally and vertically with the screws.
Step 7
Note that the vertex of the corner in the spot of light should be aligned with the vertical line drawn through the center of the headlamp projected onto the wall. The upper border of the beam should be brought to the lower horizontal line. Then cover the left headlight with cardboard and adjust in the same way.
