of headlights
The aiming of Sealed Beam asymmetric headlights should be
carried out against a target, as shown in fig. 30, or with special
equipment giving equivalent results. The various lines of the target
are the car center line, 1, the two vertical headlight center lines 2-2
and the horizontal headlight center line, 3-3.
Measure the distance between headlight and target, 7.5 meter (25 ft.)
and adjust the line 3-3 to be horizontal at the height of the headlight
centers. Switch on the main beams and aim one at a time, with
the other one masked. The centers of the high intensity zones should
be adjusted against the intersection points of the lines 2-2 and the
line 3-3. However, there are certain limits within which the beam
centers should be kept. Thus they must not be to the left of or more
than 150 mm (6 in.) to the right of straight ahead, neither above or
