To align the No. 2 headlights, a
new wall chart is used. Dimension
B
for the No.
2
lights will be different
than
B
for the No. 1 lights, but dimen-
sion A which is measured on the car
will be the same as for the No. 1
lights.
Note that the line of adjust-
ment of the No. 2 lights is the hori-
zontal centerline of the No. 2 lights.
Turn the headlights to low beam and
adjust each No. 2 light as shown in
Fig. 9.
Each headlight can be adjusted by
means of two screws located under
the headlight trim ring. Always bring
each beam into final position by
turning the adjusting screws clock-
wise so that the headlights will be
held against the tension springs when
the operation is completed (Fig. 10).
