CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Headlamp54-35
Standard values:
Vertical direction25’ (22 mm) below hori-
zontal line (H)
Horizontal
directionLeft headlampParallel to direction of
vehicle travel
Right head-
lamp15’ (13 mm) leftward
from vertical line (V)
Caution:
(1) Perform aiming adjustments, one light at a time,
with the other headlamp disconnected so as not
to be lit unless circumstances compel otherwise.
When reconnecting the headlamps, be careful not
to upset their aim. Do not leave the headlamps
on for any longer than 3 minutes if their outer
lenses are covered with a surface covering
impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lenses by taping or in any
other way.
(3) Aiming adjustment must be completed with the
aiming adjustment screws turned in the tightening
direction.
INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Position the tester so that its light sensor faces each
headlamp center to center at the appropriate distance
shown.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/minto keep the battery
in the charged condition.
3. Check that the high-beam headlamp intensity at the center
of the high intensity zone satisfies the limit value.
Limit: 15,000 cd or more per headlamp
Caution
(1) Perform intensity measurement, one headlamp at
a time, with the low-beam lamp and the other
headlamp disconnected from the battery unless
circumstances compel otherwise. Do not leave
the headlamps on for any longer than 3 minutes
if their outer lenses are covered with a surface
covering impervious to light.
(2) Do not mask the outer lens surfaces by taping
or in any other way.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
1. Disconnect the connector.
2. Remove the socket cover.
3. Unhook the spring which secures the bulb, and then
remove the bulb.
Caution
Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or
dirty gloves. If the surface does become dirty, clean
it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly
before installing.
