- flat horizontal platform (preferably near the wall of the house, fence or gate);
- tape measure 5 m long;
- cardboard sheet (to cover the headlight when adjusting).
Note. Adjustment is desirable to carry out in the dark. The vehicle must be in running order (fully loaded and without additional cargo). Since it is not easy to find a suitable surface as a screen, it is easier to use a 1x2 m plywood shield with markings applied to it. In this case, it is necessary to prepare an emphasis or stand in order to install the shield vertically.
Execution sequence
1. We install the car on a flat horizontal platform perpendicular to the surface selected as a screen, and at a distance of 5 m from it.
2. We mark the screen according to the figure.
Comment. The necessary measurements can be made using a tape measure.
3. Check the tire pressure, if necessary, bring it to normal.
4. Turn the headlight electrocorrector drive knob to position 0, corresponding to the minimum vehicle load.
5. The assistant sits in the driver's seat. After that, we vigorously shake the car from the side to self-adjust the suspension.
Screen layout for headlight adjustment:
A - a vertical line indicating the location of the center of the dipped beam lamp of the left headlight;
B - a vertical line indicating the location of the low beam lamp of the right headlight;
C - a horizontal line indicating the location of the dipped / main beam headlights;
D - line indicating the height of the horizontal border of the beams of light;
O - center line;
I - the distance between the dipped beam lamps of the block headlights;
h is the distance from the surface of the site on which the car is installed to the center of the dipped beam headlights.
6. Turning on the dipped headlights, close one of the block headlights, for example, the right one, with a sheet of cardboard.
7. Turning the adjusting screw 1 of the left headlight with a 6 mm hex wrench, bring the horizontal border of the light beam to line D, and then, turning the adjusting screw 2, combine the break in the border of the light beam with line A.
Adjust the right headlight in the same way.
