AIMING HEADLIGHTS
Testing Requirements:
Check / correct tire inflation pressure. Load down driver´s seat with a persnon weighing about 75 kg (165 lbs.). Fuel tank of car full or additional weight in trunk. Car parked on level floor or ground. Aimer aligned with car´s longitudinal axis and parallel to the contact surface and marking line set to distance e on the aimer (e.g. 12 cm (4.724") / 10 meters (33 ft.)).
Aiming:
In the vertical adjustment the light/dark border of the low beam headlight must be aligned with the horizontal marked line of the aimer. In the lateral adjustment the inclined line below the central mark must begin on the horizontal marked line. The center point of high bearm headlights is adjusted on the central mark.
Explanations:
e = H - h = 12 cm (4.724")
H = Height of headlight center above contact surface
h = Height of marked line above contact surface
+ = Central mark = center point of headlight
M = Marked line
S = Contact surface between wheel/floor
