Electric maintenance: Checking the function of the vehicle's lights: Setting
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Set the headlight adjustment unit to 10 cm/10 m (1%)!
- With this alignment, preference must be given to the central zone around the salient point of the light/dark limit!
First, make the vertical adjustment of the dipped beam headlights.
- To do this, line up the light/dark borderline running upwards at an angle on the right-hand side with the dotted 15° line of the adjustment unit.
Next, perform the horizontal adjustment of the dipped beam headlights.
- To do this, line up the left, horizontal part of the light/dark limit (in the case of driving on the right) with the dotted horizontal line of the adjustment unit.

NOTE:- The distance between the headlights and the adjustment unit should be as small as possible!
- It should not exceed 30 cm, because if the distance is greater, it is no longer possible to define the formation of the light/dark limit in the adjustment unit clearly!
- Secure the plugs after making the adjustment.
- For Xenon headlights the ignition must be switched off and on after adjustment with the lights switched on.
- After this, the adjustment must be checked again.
