- 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).
Recommendations: It is advisable to carry out the adjustment 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. You can install a sheet of plywood in front of the car under the same conditions.
2. We mark the screen according to the figure.
Screen layout for fog light adjustment: A - a vertical line indicating the location of the left fog lamp bulb; B - a vertical line indicating the location of the right fog lamp bulb; C - a horizontal line indicating the location of the fog lamps; D - line indicating the height of the horizontal border of the beams of light; O - center line; / mm - the distance between the fog lamps; h - distance from the surface of the site on which the car is installed to the fog lamps
Note: Necessary measurements can be made using a tape measure.
3. Check the tire pressure, if necessary, bring it to normal.
4. We seat the assistant in the driver's seat. Then we vigorously shake the car from the side to self-adjust the suspension.
5. Turning on the fog lights, close one of them with a sheet of cardboard, for example, the right one.
6. Turning the handle of the adjusting screw of the left headlight, we bring the horizontal border of the light beam to line C.
Adjust the right headlight in the same way.
