Headlamp Repair Procedures

Removal

Headlamps become very hot during use; do not touch them or connect any devices immediately after turning them off.

Do not remove the headlamp bulb from the headlamp assembly until the new bulb is ready to be installed. If the headlamp bulb is left removed for an extended period, headlamp bulb performance may deteriorate. Contaminants may enter the headlamp assembly and settle on the lens and reflector. Never turn on the headlamps with the bulb removed from the headlamp assembly.

Headlamp Aiming Instructions

Aim the headlamps with the correct beam setting equipment, and follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

If there are any regulations regarding headlamp beam aiming in the area where the vehicle will be used, adjust the headlamps to meet those requirements. Alternately turn the adjusting mechanism to adjust the headlamp aim. If beam aiming equipment is not available, perform the following steps:

1. 1
   Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove all loads from the vehicle except the driver, spare tire, and tools.
2. 2
   The vehicle must be on a level surface.
3. 3
   Draw vertical lines (vertical lines passing through the centers of the respective headlamps) on the screen.
4. 4
   With the headlamp and battery in normal condition, aim the headlamps so that the brightest part is on the vertical lines. A: Vertical low/high beam
