Headlight Adjustment

NOTE: When adjusting headlight, disconnect the other headlight harness.
  1. The low beam headlight should project on the screen upper edge of the beam (cut-off).
  2. If not the case, turn the adjusting screws to achieve the specified low-beam cut-off location on the aiming screen.
