Headlight unit — light adjustment (Kalina 1119)

To complete the work you will need an assistant, as well as:

flat horizontal area (preferably near the wall of a house, fence or gate);
5m tape measure;
sheet of cardboard (to cover the headlight when adjusting).

Note: It is advisable to perform adjustments at night. The car must be in running order (fully fueled and without additional cargo). Since it is not easy to find a suitable surface as a screen, it is easier to use a 1x2 m plywood board with markings applied to it. In this case, it is necessary to prepare a support or stand to install the shield vertically.

Sequence of execution

1. Place the car on a flat horizontal surface perpendicular to the surface selected as a screen and at a distance of 5 m from it.

2. Mark the screen according to the drawing.

Note: The necessary measurements can be taken using a tape measure.

3. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary, bring it up to normal.

4. Turn the headlight corrector drive handle to position 0, which corresponds to the minimum load on the vehicle.

5. The assistant sits in the driver's seat. After that, we vigorously rock the car from the side to adjust the suspension.

A - vertical line indicating the location of the center of the low beam lamp of the left headlight;
B - vertical line indicating the location of the low beam lamp of the right headlight;
C - horizontal line indicating the location of the low/high beam headlights;
D - line indicating the height of the horizontal boundary of the light beams;
O - center line;
I - distance between low beam headlights;
h - the distance from the surface of the platform on which the car is installed to the center of the low-beam headlights.

6. Turn on the low beam headlights and cover one of the headlights, for example the right one, with a sheet of cardboard.

7. Using a 6 mm Allen key, turn the adjusting screw 1 of the left headlight unit to bring the horizontal boundary of the light beam to line D, and then, turning the adjusting screw 2, align the break in the boundary of the light beam with line A.
