(1) Horizontal line dimension from
ground : Low Beam : 894 mm (35.1 in.) High Beam : 839 mm (33 in.)
(2) Distance between each vertical line : Low Beam : 1,316 mm (51.8 in.) High Beam : 1,076 mm (42.4 in.) And then, draw a parallel line at 38 mm
(1.50 in.) under the horizontal line incase of adjusting the low beam or at 21 mm (0.83 in.) under the horizontal line in case of adjusting the high beam.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver - VERTICAL AIMING.
