Headlight adjustment diagram
a - external headlights; b - internal headlights; 1 – horizontal line corresponding to the centers of the headlights; 2 – a line passing through the centers of light spots; A and B are vertical lines corresponding to the centers of the outer headlights; C and E are vertical lines corresponding to the centers of the inner headlights; O – center line; h – distance of headlight centers from the floor.
We check the correct adjustment of the headlights by the location of the light spots on the screen (see picture).
Check and adjust the headlights on a flat horizontal surface. A plywood sheet (approximately 1.0 m high and 1.7–2.0 m long), a light-colored building wall, gate, etc. can serve as a screen. Place the fully fueled car with a jack, tool, and spare wheel secured in their proper places perpendicular to the screen at a distance of 5 m between it and the headlights. Check and, if necessary, adjust the tire pressure to the norm. Place an assistant in the driver's seat. To ensure that the body takes the correct position relative to the wheels, rock the car by the wing. Start adjusting from the outer headlights. Use chalk to mark the screen as shown in Figure a. The distance between the marks on the screen corresponding to the centers of the outer headlights should be 1180 mm.
We cover one of the outer headlights with a piece of cardboard or fabric and turn on the low beam.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw located above the headlight until the horizontal boundary of the light beam is aligned with the bottom line on the screen.
The headlight frames have special recesses for access to the adjustment screws. If one of the screws is covered, remove the frame (see Replacing the radiator grille).
By turning the second adjusting screw, located, if you look in the direction of the car, to the right of the right headlight (to the left of the left), we combine the place of the bend of the beam of light (the intersection of horizontal and inclined boundaries) with a vertical line of the center of the headlight on the screen.
We also adjust the outer headlight on the other side of the car.
We mark the screen as shown in Figure b. The distance between the marks on the screen corresponding to the centers of the inner headlights is 840 mm. We cover the outer headlights with cardboard or cloth and turn on the high beam headlights. By alternately covering the inner headlights and turning the adjusting screws, we set the centers of the light beams as shown in the figure. The screw above the headlight changes the position of the beam vertically...
...and on the left – horizontally.
It is better to adjust the headlights at night or in cloudy weather.
