12. Beam adjustment for headlamp 

—

The correctness of the beam adjustment for front headlamp is vital to the driving safety. 
Therefore, only special instruments are allowed to be used to adjust the beam, and pay 
attention to the stipulated laws during adjustment. 

13. The followings must be fulfilled before adjustment 

—

Air pressure of car tyres must comply with the standard; 

—

The vehicle should be non-load (other than the spare tyre and tool kit, the weight of the car 
normally includes the weight of the driver);   

—

The car should be parked on a horizontal road or working site; 

—

The surface of the headlamp reflector must be clean without any contamination; 

—

Check whether power works normally and bulbs are installed properly. 

—

Two screws linking the front headlamp can be adjusted towards the horizontal or vertical 
position.

beam light is    working 

1.All of bulbs have been damaged. 
2.The fuse has been burned down. 
3.Headlamp switch is faulty. 
4.The circuit is faulty. 

1.Replace the bulb. 
2.Replace the fuse. 
3.Inspect and replace the 

headlamp switch. 

4.Check the circuit. 

Only one headlamp, that 
is either the high beam or 
low beam is working 

1.The bulb has been damaged. 
2.The fuse has been burned down. 
3.The lamp holder or conducting 

wire is faulty. 

1.Replace the bulb. 
2.Replace the fuse. 
3.Check the lamp holder 

or conducting wire. 

Either side of the high 
beam or low beam is not 
working. 

1.The bulb has been damaged. 
2.The fuse has been burned down. 
3.The headlamp switch is faulty. 
4.The conducting wire or the 

grounding is faulty. 

1.Replace the bulb. 
2.Replace the fuse. 
3.Check the headlamp 
switch. 
4.Inspect the circuit. 

Both headlamps are not 
working. 

1.The bulb has been damaged. 
2.The fuse has been broken. 
3.The headlamp switch is faulty. 
4.The conducting wire or the 

grounding is faulty.

2.Replace the fuse. 
3.Check the headlamp 
switch. 
4.Check the circuit. 

Warning: 

● The bulb will generate heat of very high temperature during working. So if the 

surface of the bulb becomes dirty, the excessive heat will be accumulated, which 
would result in shortening the life span of the bulb. When replacing the bulb, pay 
attention to hold the metal edge rather than the bulb itself.
