High beam separate height adjustment

It may be necessary, to correct the height adjustment of the high beam in relation to the low beam.

If the high beam is adjusted too high/too low to the low beam, a separate adjustment of the high beam reflector (independently of the low beam reflector) can be performed using the adjusting screw -1-.

Under normal circumstances this is already adjusted correctly at the factory.
