Headlamp Adjustments
1. Place car on level floor with front of the headlamps twenty-five feet from
a light colored vertical surface.
2. Draw a horizontal line across this surface the same height from the floor
as the center of the lamps. Draw a second horizontal line parallel with
and 7 inches lower than the first.
3. Cover up the front of one lamp and focus the other one so the smallest
spot of light obtainable will be shown on the vertical surface. This is
done by turning the bulb adjusting screw on the back of the lamp, shown
in Figure 1, to the right or left as necessary until the proper result is
obtained. As it is essential that the head of the screw be in close contact
with the back of the lamp at all times, the screwdriver should be firmly
pressed against the screw when turning it. If the screw has a tendency to
come out of the lamp when turning to the left, strike the head a sharp
blow, which will move it forward. Follow the same procedure when
adjusting the other lamp.
4. Loosen headlamp stud nuts shown at "A," Figure 2, just sufficiently to
allow the lamp to be tilted up or down as required, so the top edges of
the beams of light will be even with the upper horizontal line shown in
Figure 3, if the car has full passenger load. If the car is empty, the
headlamps should be tilted so the top of the light beams will meet the
lower horizontal line.
