NOTE:

The main headlights are fitted into the body at the factory.
Adjustment of the headlight with mounting is only necessary following damage (e. g. accident damage).
As of model year 2004, new mountings will be installed which can be retrofitted for older vehicles. The advantage of this is that the mounting can be adjusted more quickly from the front.

NOTE:

The fastening screws have a hexagon at the top and can therefore be unscrewed from the front.
It is therefore important to turn the screws in the opposite direction when screwing the rear fastening screws in and out!

1. Unscrew the back fastening screws -1- using adjusting wrench P 9717 -a- -Arrow- . See Fig 2.

2. Undo the front fastening screws.
