The movement of a car at night is impossible, and also prohibited, without the use of light devices, in particular headlights. They help to mark the vehicle on the road and allow you to see foreign objects that appear in front of it. Only standard lamps should be used in headlights, otherwise the reflective coating may fail. In the event of an unexpected breakdown or replacement, this work can be done independently.
Instructions
Step 1
Disconnect the negative terminal of the storage battery. Remove the radiator grille. Disconnect the block with wires from the headlight. Press on the latch of the hydraulic corrector cylinder, then turn it clockwise 90 ° until it stops and pull it out of the socket. Do not disconnect the hoses.
Step 2
Remove the three headlamp mounting bolts, then slide the headlamp unit back. Then move the headlamp trim to the center of the machine by about 4 cm so that its hook disengages from the wing. Loosen the upper bumper mounting bolts, push it forward, this will make it possible to easily move the trim so that it can be pressed forward.
Step 3
Press down on the lower element of the trim to disengage its flange with the front bumper. Remove the cover. Unscrew the headlight lower mounting nut. Move the headlamp towards you. Disconnect the block from the direction indicator, remove the headlamp from the vehicle. In order to disassemble it, unscrew the two fastening screws.
Step 4
Disconnect then the direction indicator and headlight. To do this, remove the two hooks on the indicator housing that are attached to the headlight housing. Carry out the installation and assembly of the headlamp unit in the reverse order. After that, adjust the headlights. To do this, fill up the vehicle completely, put the tool kit and the spare wheel.
Step 5
Check the tire pressure. Pump up if necessary. Place the car perpendicular to a smooth wall on a horizontal level surface at a distance of 5 meters. Place a 75 kg load on the driver's seat. Mark the screen on the wall. The longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle shall follow the "zero" line.
Step 6
Measure the height of the center of the headlights to the floor on the car, which will be equal to the distance h on the screen. Turn on the dipped beam, then set the hydrocorrector handle to position "1". Lift the hood and use the screws to adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the light spot separately for each headlight on the screen, while covering the second headlight with a dark material.
