Section Three Assembling and Disassembling of Whole Vehicle 

Light Fixture 

 
1.  Front headlight assembling 

  Assemble front headlight according to corresponding position, ensure bolt 

fixing hole location and headlight crossmember welding nut in concentricity;   

  Fix front headlight properly with 4 bolts, washers and a nut, put down 

engine hood, calibrate and adjust headlight mounted position (bulging or 
sunk, headlight is required to protrude a little more than engine hood with 
both forming a curvature that can be felt manually), and then tighten 
fastening piece with tightening torque 1.5±0.2N·m;   

 

Mount radiator grid

 

  Connect lamp holder connecting harness;   

2 .    Front fog light assembling:   

  Connect fog light harness end-to-end pin;   
  Put fog light into mounting hole from face to ensure 3 screw holes and front 

guard hole location in concentricity;   

  Tighten 3 tapping screws with tightening torque 1.5±0.2N·m;   
  Fix lower grid (refer to body description).   

3.    Side turn light assembling:   

  Connect lamp holder connecting harness; 
  According to the right direction, firstly match a wedge-position end with 

body and then press forcefully.   

4. Assembling of tail lamp fixed parts (including position lamp/brake light, 

turn light):   

 Align hole locations on body so as to assemble light fixture and body in good 

condition;  

 Tighten 3 fixed nuts, pay attention to adjust the surface difference between the 

said nuts and body, feel height difference manually, adjust with hand touch 
while tightening;   

 Plug lamp holder harness, pave the rug.   

5. Assembling of tail lamp movable parts (including reversing light and rear 

fog light) 

Align hole locations on body so as to assemble light fixture and body in good 

condition;  

Tighten 4 fixed nuts, pay attention to adjust the surface difference and clearance 

between the said nuts and body, fixed parts (trunk lid may be laid down), feel height 
difference manually, adjust based on hand feel while tightening;                                                                 

Properly plug lamp holder harness and lay down trunk lid; 

6.   Assembling of license light
