Headlamp Setting
Where possible, headlamps should be set by a professional using specially developed equipment.
Mechanical Aimers for use on sealed beam units, or Lucas ‘Beamsetter’ equipment will enable the
lights to be set quickly and accurately.
However, where such items are not available, the beams may be set, keeping the following points
in mind.
a)
The beams should be set with the car in its normally loaded condition (i.e. 1 or 2
passengers, tank z full).
Setting is most easily done with the car on a flat, level surface.
Centre of maximum light intensity on high beam should be 2" below horizontal in 25 ft.
Adjustment is made by turning the screws on the light unit retaining plate, exposed by removing the
rim. There is one screw for vertical adjustment, one for horizontal, except on the European-type unit,
where there are two for horizontal adjustment.
Sidelights and Rear Lights
The lenses on all side and rear lights are secured by two Phillips screws. If these are removed, the
lens may be taken off and the bulb changed. Bulbs in the stop/tail lamps have twin filaments, but the
offset peg bayonet fixing ensures correct positioning.
Those in the side lamps and front and rear flashers have single filaments only, and may be
replaced either way round.
Reversing Number Plate Light
The combined reversing and number plate lamp is mounted directly beneath the rear number plate.
The two bulbs illuminating the number plate come on with the sidelights, while the reversing light is
operated whenever Reverse is selected on the gear change quadrant.
Access to all bulbs is gained by removing the two chromed countersunk screws in the cover of the
lamp, thus allowing the cover and lens to be withdrawn.
Map Light
The bulb can be replaced through the light vent.
