Headlight Adjustment

  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.
    1. Standard value: (Vertical direction) Range of headlight center line 53 +/- 50 mm (+/- 2.1 inches) 
    NOTE: There is no horizontal aim adjustment. Horizontal aim is preset and does not require adjustment.
  3. When adjusting one headlight, disconnect the other headlight harness.
    CAUTION: Do not cover a headlight for more than three minutes, or the plastic headlight lens will become deformed.
  4. High-beam pattern should be correct when the low-beams are adjusted properly.
