Hello,

Here is the instruction from the manual and some diagrams (below) for the adjustment screws.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Set a vertical screen on a level surface.

2. Toward the screen (1) from the bulb center mark of the headlight, extend parallel lines to the floor. Mark point (A) and (B) on the screen at the intersection of parallel line and the screen.

3. Draw vertical lines through point (A) and (B) on the screen.

4. Keep the vehicle (2) 3m (9.8 ft) apart from the screen (1).

5. Draw a horizontal line through point (A) and (B) on the screen (1)

6. Turn the headlight low beam on.

7. Adjust the CUTLINE 30 mm (1.18 in) below the horizontal line (H).

8. Adjust the BENDING POINT to the vertical line (V).

NOTE:
Always adjust vertical adjustment first
