Headlamp dim-dip system -
description
33 On later models, the wiring circuit has
been modified to prevent the car being driven
on parking lamps only in built-up areas.
34 Headlamp intensity is reduced by the
transformer located at the front of the engine
compartment (photo).
35 Any attempt to start the car with parking
lamps only on will automatically cause the
headlamps to switch on with a low-intensity
dipped beam. Dipped and main beam
function normally.
36 The headlamp dim-dip system is a legal
requirement for all UK models registered after
April 1st, 1987.

access cover from the unit (photo).
39 Disconnect the wiring connector from the
bulb, release the clips and withdraw the bulb
from the lamp (photo).
40 Refit in the reverse order of removal.
Check the light for satisfactory operation and
if the beam requires resetting, turn the
adjustment screw in the required direction.
41 To adjust the beam, position the car 5 m
from, and square on to, a wall or similar.
42 Measure the height of the centre of the
lamp lens from the ground and mark the
position on the wall. Switch on the lamp. The
demarcation line (cut-off) of the light should
be below the mark on the wall by 50 mm plus
one-third of the ground-to-lamp centre
measurement. Adjust the beam as required
using the long centre screw.
