HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

Low Beam Adjustment
1. Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are
required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned
with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre - marks on the
low beam headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or mark
on the screen is for reference of vertical adjustment.
(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of the
vehicle to the centre of each low beam headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen. Vertical
tape or mark on the screen with reference to the
centre line of each low beam headlamp bulb.
2. Check if the low beam shining onto the screen is at the
standard value.
Standard value:
(Vertical direction)
120 mm (0.69_) below horizontal line (H)
(Horizontal direction)

3. Alternately turn the adjusting screw to adjust the headlamp
low beam aiming.
Caution
Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in
the tightening direction.
High Beam Adjustment
1. Four lines of adhesive tape (or equivalent markings) are
required on screen or wall:
(1) Position a vertical tape or mark so that it is aligned
with the vehicle centre line.
(2) Measure the distance from the centre - marks on the
high beam headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer the
measurement to the screen. Horizontal tape or mark
on the screen is for reference of vertical adjustment.
(3) Measure the distance from the centre line of the
vehicle to the centre of each high beam headlamp.
Transfer the measurement to the screen. Vertical
tape or mark on the screen with reference to the
centre line of each high beam headlamp bulb.

2. Check if the high beam shining onto the screen is at the
standard value.
Standard value:
(Vertical and horizontal direction)
The center of high intensity zone is on the
point of intersection of line (H) and line (V).
Limit:
(Vertical direction) - 0.5_of the point of

(Horizontal direction)±0.5_of the center
of line (V)
3. Alternately turn the adjusting screw to adjust the headlamp
high beam aiming.
Caution
Be sure to adjust the aiming adjustment screw in
the tightening direction.

1. The headlamps should be aimed with the proper beam
setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment
manufacture’s instructions.
NOTE
If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of
headlamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used,
adjust so as to meet those requirements.
2. Alternately turn the adjusting screw to adjust the headlamp

HEADLAMP INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
1. Using a photometer, and following its manufacture’s
instruction manual.
2. Maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min., with the battery
in the charging condition
3. Set the headlamps to high beam
4. Measure the headlamp centre intensity (a point of H line
and V line) and check to be sure that the limit value
is satisfied.
Limit:
High beam 30,000 cd or more per one headlamp
NOTE
1. There may be special local regulations pertaining to
headlamp intensity, be sure to make any adjustments
necessary to satisfy such regulations.
2. If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements,
convert its values to photometer values by using the
following formula.
I=Er
2Where:
I=intensity (cd)
E=illumination (lux)
r=distance (m) from headlamps to illuminometer
Caution
1. On the headlamp not yet adjusted, perform aiming
with connector removed and the lamps switched off,
if applicable. In addition, care should be taken to
prevent a change of optical axis when connector is
reconnected.
2. Plastic outer lens are equipped with headlamps. When
lens surface is covered with materials for not
penetrating light, headlamp operation time should be
within 3 minutes. In addition, masking such as taping
should not be performed.
