Headlight Adjustment (Low-Beam)

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT (LOW-BEAM)

NOTE: When adjusting headlight, disconnect the other headlight harness.

1. The low-beam headlight will project on the screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).




2. Turn the adjusting screw to achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on the aiming screen.






Standard value:
(Vertical direction) Horizontal line (H) ±50.5 mm ((±2.0 inches) (±0.38 degrees angle)
(Horizontal direction): ±126.4 mm (±5.0 inches) (±0.95 degrees angle) from the axis, which is 266.1 mm (10.5 inches) (2 degrees angle) rightward from the vertical line (V)

CAUTION: Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes to prevent the plastic headlight lens deformation.

NOTE: High-beam pattern should be correct when the low-beams are adjusted properly.
