Replacing front lights cluster bulbs

Replacing front lights cluster bulbs

1. Release the retaining clips, disengage the main beam headlamp bulb and withdraw it. Rotate the side lights bulb holder anti-clockwise and withdraw it from its seating, then remove the bulb.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT

The car must be complete with spare wheel, tools, fluids and fuel reserve; the tyre pressures must be the normal operating pressures with driver on board.

Place the car on flat ground with the lights clusters glass 10 m from a screen or opaque surface on which the following lines have been drawn:

V - V: vertical line corresponding to the car's plane of symmetry.

C - C: corresponding to the vertical planes passing through the reference centres of the lights clusters.

HC-HC: horizontal line corresponding to the height from the ground of the reference centres of the lights clusters.

AC-AC: horizontal line 12 cm below the line Hc-Hc (value for new and allocated cars, corresponding to a settling of 1.2%).

Adjust the lights clusters on the dipped beam. Proceed as follows, using the headlamp alignment device.

A. Screw for vertical adjustment of the light beam.

B. Screw for horizontal adjustment of the light beam.

C. Lever for manual adjustment of the light beam.

Vertical alignment

Line up the horizontal section of the demarcating line between the dark area and the area illuminated by the light beam, with the line AC-AC drawn on the screen, using screw A.

Horizontal alignment

Line up the intersecting point of the two demarcating lines, the horizontal line and the angled line, with the respective intersections of the lines C-C and AC-AC of the screen, using screw B.

NOTE If the screen has to be placed at a shorter distance, the values must be reduced proportionally.
