The bend point -2- between the left horizontal part and the right rising part of the cut-off line must run vertically through the central mark -3-. The bright core of the light beam must be to the right of the vertical.

-- To determine the bend point -2- more easily, cover and uncover the left half of the headlamp (seen in direction of travel) several times. Then check the low beam again.

After adjusting the low beam according to the instructions, the center of the high beam light beam must be on the central marking -3-.

-- Turn the adjusting screw -3- to adjust laterally.

The side adjustment bolt -3- must be secured with the plugs after the adjustment is made on USA vehicles. Refer to the Parts Information for the correct plugs.
