1999 AUDI A4 high beam

71

Note:
VOL is the correct beam pattern for both right
and left headlights.

Note:
If the height alignment changed, readjust.
Checking driver's side headlight high beam alignment - Adjust lateral (horizontal) alignment of driver's side headlight so that
the peak (highest point) of the headlight beam pattern aligns with the
right edge of the target box of the grid on the pattern screen (it should
match the VOL pattern shown on the Beamsetter box).
- Switch headlights ON in high beam position.
- Realign Beamsetter box with the high beam headlight if necessary.

- Set Beamsetter "Scaled wheel" to 0%.
- Cover low beam lamp (use hand or small piece of cardboard) and
check that the "hot spot" of high beam pattern is centered on the
square target box of the pattern screen.

Note:
High beam pattern is built into the reflector
design and cannot be adjusted separately.
If high beam pattern is way out of adjustment:

- Inspect for reflector damage.

- Replace reflector if needed.

Note:
Always align headlight in the low beam position.

Aligning fog lamp

- Switch fog lamps ON.

- Align Beamsetter box with fog lamp (make sure
it is between 30 and 70cm from the fog lamp
lens).

Adjust fog lamp so the top of the beam pattern aligns with the centerline
of the target grid on the beam pattern screen. - Set Beamsetter scaled wheel to 1.4%.
