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