CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Handle components indoors as much as possible to prevent foreign matter from entering and adhering to headlight assembly components.
Do not reuse parts which have reduced fastening ability due to thread damage.
When installing components, make sure that the wire harness is not pinched or pulled.
Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.
Tech Tips
Use the same procedure for the RH and LH sides.
The procedure listed below is for the LH side.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL HEADLIGHT LEVELING MOTOR LH
Install the headlight leveling motor LH with the 2 screws.
Connect the connector and attach the wire harness clamp.
INSTALL HEADLIGHT UNIT ASSEMBLY LH
Note
Prevention of static electricity is required during this procedure.
Use static electricity countermeasures SST (desktop antistatic mat set) and observe all precautions to prevent damage to the system by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Perform work using clean rubber gloves.
Do not touch the headlight unit assembly LH with bare hands.
Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
If there are fingerprints on the inner surface of the lens, lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
Do not use solvent to clean components. Only clean them with a dry cloth.
Set the both rail, beam axis vertical and horizontal and vertical adjustment aiming screws for the headlight unit assembly LH.
Tech Tips
Align and set them according to the white and black arrows shown in the illustration.
While holding the headlight unit assembly LH with one hand so that it does not fall over, tighten the vertical aiming screw and horizontal aiming screw 10 rotations.
Push the headlight unit assembly LH to connect the headlight leveling motor LH.
Tighten the vertical and horizontal aiming screw and vertical aiming screw until the protrusion and retraction amount is the same as that recorded.
Connect the connector.
INSTALL HEADLIGHT LENS GASKET
Note
The headlight lens gasket must not be reused.
Perform work using clean rubber gloves.
Do not touch the inner surface of the lens and metallic surfaces as much as possible, or they may become dirty.
Do not allow metallic surfaces to become dirty, as such surfaces become damaged even if they are only lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
If there are fingerprints on the inner surface of the lens, lightly wiped with a soft cloth.
