front beam

Post by lawrencetlc »

Hi,

anyone knows how far and how wide and how high a low and high beam lamp should project to?

and how do i adjust the low and high beam? can i make them more concentrating on the centre? cos i think it has been refected to the side too much that the centre is not as bright.

Thanks.

I don't actually know what legal width and height you can project lights.

You'll notice screws on either sides of where the bulbs go. If you turn these screws they can change the direction of the headlights' projection.

Make sure you scribble a line on the wall to see where you start off with so you can see which way the lights are moving. It'll also help you a lot if you screw up which is really easy to do!

You cant do this by yourself,
There is a very detailed scale for this which most of the mechanics have it
Measurement should be done while driver is in the car, or equal weight located on the seat.
the lines from a distance shows light coverage,

At the back of the headlight there are 4 screws, 2 for low, 2 for high beam. One of the 2 controls vertical, and the other controls horizontal.

Dont touch your headlight settings, and go to your local mechanic, otherwise you will blind incomming traffic
