Headlamp beam adjustment
It is recommended that a "Lucas Beam setter" is used to ensure
accurate beam adjustment. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
the correct procedure. If such equipment is not available, beam
adjustment can still be correctly done by the following method:
1. The vehicle should be at its kerbside weight, with a person
in the driving seat, half a tank of fuel and the tyres at the
recommended pressures.
2. Position the vehicle on level ground 10m (32.8 ft) from, and
square to, a suitable vertical screen.
3. Measure the height from the ground to the centre of the
headlamp and adjust the board so that the dividing line "H"
marked on the board corresponds. (Figure 12)
4. Position the board so that the vertical dividing line
corresponds to the centre line of the vehicle.
5. Switch the lights on to main beam and cover the RH
headlamp.
6. The LH headlamp should be set until the area of
concentrated light (the "hot spot") is focused just below
"H" on the aiming board, on the centre line which is the
centre of the headlamp as shown in Figure 12. Vertical
adjustment is obtained by adjusting screw 1 (Figure 13) and
horizontal adjustment by screw 2. With the main beam
correctly set, the dipped beam will also be correct.
7. Cover the LH headlamp and repeat the process for the RH
headlamp.
