Starting and driving
Adjusting headlamp pattern
A. Headlamp pattern for left-hand traffic
B. Right-hand traffic
Correct light pattern for left or
right-hand traffic
So as not to dazzle oncoming drivers, the
headlamp beam pattern can be altered by
masking the headlamps. The quality of the
beam pattern may not be as good.
Headlamp masking
Copy the templates and transfer the pattern
to a self-adhesive, waterproof material such
as opaque tape or the like.
The mask is positioned using the dot (5) in
the headlamp lens as a reference point. The
reference measurement (X) indicates the dis-
tance from the dot (5) to the corner of the
mask, marked with an arrow.
After copying the templates located on the
next page, check the measurements so that
the reference measurements cover enough of
the beam pattern.
