Headlamps - adjusting headlamp
pattern
The headlamp pattern must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming motorists and can
be set for right or left-hand traffic.
Adjusting headlamp pattern
G021151
Headlamp pattern, left-hand traffic.
G021152
Headlamp pattern, right-hand traffic.
Active Xenon headlamps*
The light pattern does not need to be
adjusted. The headlamp pattern is designed
in such a way that oncoming traffic is not
dazzled.
Halogen headlamps
The headlamp pattern for halogen headlamps
is readjusted by masking the headlamp lens.
The headlamp pattern may not be as good.
Masking the headlamps
1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand
drive cars or the C and D templates for
right-hand drive cars, see the later sec-
tion "Templates for halogen headlamps":
•
A = LHD Right (left-hand drive, right
lens)
•
B = LHD Left (left-hand drive, left lens)
•
C = RHD Right (right-hand drive, right
lens)
•
D = RHD Left (right-hand drive, left
lens)
2. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive
waterproof material and cut it out.
3. Start from the design lines on the head-
lamp lenses; see the lines in the following
figure. Position the self-adhesive tem-
plates at the design lines with the help of
the illustration.
