Adjusting the headlamp beam pattern
A. Headlamp beam pattern for left-hand traffic
B. Right-hand traffic
Correct beam pattern for left
or right-hand traffic
So as not to dazzle oncoming drivers, the
headlamp beam pattern can be altered by
masking the headlamps. The quality of the
beam pattern may not be as good.
Headlamp masking
Copy the templates and transfer the pattern to a
self-adhesive, waterproof material such as
opaque tape or the like.
The mask is positioned using the dot (5) in the
headlamp lens as a reference point. The
reference measurement (X) indicates the
distance from the dot (5) to the corner of the
mask marked with an arrow.
