The headlight is unlikely to move by itself. But if the reflector or the entire headlight has been replaced, then it is necessary to check the installation of the headlights.
It is also necessary to adjust the headlights if the front of the car was damaged as a result of an accident, or after installing new suspension elements. The adjustment is performed as follows:
The headlight aiming angle should be set to "O".
If one of the headlights has been damaged or replaced, it will be enough to first turn on the light if you are in the car at some distance in front of a light wall to compare the heights of the light beam of the new headlight with the beam of the other headlight.
If the headlight has been adjusted, you can mark the height of the light beam, for example, on the wall of the garage. It is important to take into account the distance to the wall on which your car is located. So, mark. With this marking, you can then, if necessary, check the adjustment of the headlights again.
The most accurate method of adjusting headlights is, as before, adjustment with a special adjustment device, which is used by mechanics in a car repair shop, at a gas station or at a Bosch service.
The high beam headlight adjustment for models with a 6-cylinder engine will be correct if the low beam headlight adjustment is correct.
Adjusting the light beam of the fog lights: shown on the headlight in the illustration below on the left.
At a distance of five meters from the adjustment wall, the light beams of the fog lights must be 100 mm below the corresponding center of the headlight. Only the height is adjustable.
Where are the adjustment screws located?
With the hood open, the headlight adjustment screws are accessible from above through holes in the upper crossmember of the engine compartment.
Allen keys are used for adjustment.
When adjusting the headlight beam, the height is adjusted first. Then the lateral displacement of the headlight beam.
In fog lights, only the height is adjustable:
Remove the bumper panel (next to the fog lights).
Below it are two mounting bolts and an adjusting screw.
