renault4 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 does anyone know how to set the headlight beam aim? in haynes they used to show you dimensions with your lights shining on a garage door or wall but they now say get it adjusted profesionally. any ideas?

crazyfarmerboy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 i took mine to the local land rover garage and they did it for free, but it use them regularly, i have also done it myself on a defender by putting one with correctly adjusted lights next to the other one and put lights on a wall and make then level, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 pop in to your local garage or mot centre & ask them to adjust using the beam checking part of the mot kit. or http://www.ukmot.com/1-6.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM_110 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I set mine using a wall. 1] 10m away line of masking tape at the height of the headlight centres measured on the truck, with two crosses at vertical centres. 2] 15cm down another line for dipped [my headlights were marked 1-5" so I made a line at 1.5% down]. 3] Fiddle with the screws to line up dipped and main. 4] Job done. Never had any complaints from MOT peeps. Check out Ralph's link as you'll need to adjust the lower line dependent on the height of your light centres from the ground.
