2) Check that cut line at distance "H" from vertical center line of headlight bulb aligns with horizontal center line of headlight bulb.

NOTE:
If the headlights interfere each other and make it hard to see the cut line clearly, cover the headlight on one side. This helps to make aiming adjustment easier.

Hot spot specification
Calculated distance "H": Approx. 350 mm (13.78 in.) (specified angle: 2°)

If vertical aiming is not set properly, align it to specification by adjusting aiming gear.

If horizontal aiming is out of specification, check headlight installation or vehicle body panel bending.
