Adjustment of a direction of an optical axis of head headlights - the general information and replacement of the mechanism of a regulator

The general information

Exact adjustment of a direction of an optical axis of head block headlights can be made only with application of the special optical equipment in the conditions of a car repair shop.

Approximate installation of headlights can be made by means of the adjusting assemblages established in the top part of each of block headlights. The external wheel serves for updating of position of a block headlight in a vertical plane, internal - in horizontal.

Before to start updating, make sure that the regulator is established in position 0.

Replacement of the mechanism of a regulator

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. The hydroproof-reader of a direction of an optical axis of head headlights consists of two regulators (on one on each block headlight), connected to the basic mechanism by means of hoses. We will notice that all components of assemblage (regulators, the mechanism and hoses) should be tightly connected among themselves. In default the hydraulic mechanism is subject to replacement (see more low).
2. Remove an instrument guard (see Has undressed Removal and installation of an instrument guard).

3. Accurately having hooked, remove assemblage of the handle of the switch of management of the hydroproof-reader.

4. Loosen the on pair turns fixing screws, then slightly turn the mechanism counter-clockwise and push it in the panel of devices.

5. In an impellent compartment find regulators on the back party of assemblages of head block headlights. For a detachment of a regulator from its headlight it is necessary to turn counter-clockwise and accurately to liberate spherical the hinge from a headlight reflector.
6. Moving along hoses, liberate them from all intermediate clamps (try to remember routes of a lining of hoses).
7. Liberate the rubber plug of installation of the hydroproof-reader through passage from a partition of an impellent compartment and remove assemblage of the proof-reader from the car.
8. At installation fill assemblage in an aperture in a partition of an impellent compartment and in the correct image place it in the panel of devices. Strongly tighten fixing screws, then establish into place the handle.
9. Plant in a partition the rubber plug through passage, in the correct image lay hoses and fix them in all provided intermediate clamps.
10. Strongly latch spherical hinges regulators in reflectors, then strongly fix regulators in block headlights.
11. Establish into place an instrument guard (see Has undressed Removal and installation of an instrument guard).
12. Check up serviceability of functioning of the hydroproof-reader, in case of need make adjustment of a direction of optical axes of headlights.
