Procedure for adjusting headlight aiming
1. Install the screen.
Note:
- Stop the car at right angles to the wall.
- Align the screen perpendicular to the road.
2. Stop the car at right angles to the screen so that the distance between the centers of the headlights and the screen becomes 10 m.
3. Start the engine and turn on the low beam headlights.
Note. Block the light from a headlight that cannot be adjusted using a thick cloth, etc. so that it does not fall on the wall screen.
Attention. Do not cover the surface of the diffuser with tape, as it is made of plastic.
4. Adjust the directivity of the headlights using the adjusting screws so that the bending point cast by the low beam of the headlights on the screen is within the adjustment area.
