Superb headlight with SLA adjustment

[miloshst]

Hello,

 

I have a specific problem with headlight aim so I need some of your help to adjust it. I had some repairs that included change of left headlight and after that repair dealer just don't have enough knowledge to readjust headlight to be in line horizontal and vertical so my SLA does not cut traffic like it should do and cut off lines on low beam does not provide good enough lighting on dark streets. I manage to readjust headlights with screws, with and without OBD11 (does not make any difference), but I need your help to take picture of your lights with SLA at night or give me any instructions on how to readjust to make it like it came out of factory both horizontal and vertical aim (for me that was the best setting).

 

Thank you in advance.

I don't know how to, or wat is involved with recalibrating SLA headlights with it's rollers.

Doing the manual (vertical/horizontal) adjustments will not affect the SLA rollers.

There will b some other trick to it.

 

Below is a video of my SLA in action at night.

Well, I don't think I need to recalibrate SLA, but just headlight horizontal position to achieve SLA to work properly. So, I need night pic. against wall of lights cutoff lines on low beam so I can adjust that at first. I will take a photo and video of my lights tonight and I am posting that here so you can see. Thank you JR RS.

Any garage with a headlight alignment tool should be able to calibrate the low beam using the normal method and adjustment screws. There shouldn't be anything extra due to SLA...

 

If the front facing camera or suspension has been changed, then you'll need to perform calibration. If it's just the headlight, a normal headlight alignment should be fine...

This is exactly what I need. I will film my tonight, before and after adjustment by your video. Thank you!!

 

langers2k - I was at garage, and when they adjust lights it is not like it was before headlight change, so I will try to adjust it by myself with help from other people who has same car with same headlights and I think it will be fine. Just I need some starting point. Thank you for your response.

So, this is what I managed to adjust tonight. Vertical is I think ok, horizontal is to be more widen, just to figure out how much what headlight not to bother oncoming traffic and to spread beam good for my visibility. If you have any more instructions I would be more than thankful.

IMHO, there are 3 possible chapters to look at:

- Maintenance

- Electric system

- Body repair - exterior

Hello, thank you for your post. I did manage to find it under Maintenance part page 142, 143. Also, I did manage to do basic setting with OBD11, adjusted, and now I will test it in 2-3 night and report to you. Thank you for your help.
