Light Unit Replacement
The headlamps are fitted with sealed beam units. Headlamp
failure necessitates unit replacement.
Remove the snap-on rim by inserting the end of a
screwdriver or removal tool behind the lower edge of the rim and
levering sideways as shown on Fig. 57.
Remove screws 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. 59) and withdraw the
retaining rim and light unit, Fig. 58. Pull the adaptor plug from
the unit, Fig. 58.
Reverse the foregoing sequence to re-assemble the lamp, first
engaging the bottom clip before pressing the rim home.
Headlamp Alignment (Fig. 59)
The beam is aligned in the vertical plane by turning the screw
(B) at the top of the lamp and in the horizontal plane by turning
the screw (A) on the side. Alignment of the high beam of one
lamp is best carried out with the other lamp covered.
Maximum illumination is obtained, and discomfort to other
road users is prevented, by ensuring that the lamp beams do not
project above the horizontal when the vehicle is fully laden.
When adjustments are necessary, they should be entrusted to a
Dealer having suitable beam setting equipment.
