INTENSITY MEASUREMENT
- Set the headlights to high-beam
- Using a photometer, and following its manufacturer's instruction manual, measure the headlight center intensity and check to be sure that the limit value is satisfied. Limit: 40,000 cd or more {When a screen is set 18.3m (60.0 feet) ahead of the vehicle}
Note. When measuring the intensity, maintain an engine speed of 2,000 r/min, with the battery fully charged. There may be special local regulations pertaining to headlight intensity. Be sure to make any adjustments necessary to satisfy such regulations. If an illuminometer is used to make the measurements, convert its values to photometer values by using the following formula.
I =Er2 Where
- I = intensity (cd)
- E = illumination (lux)
- r = distance (m) from headlights to illuminometer
| CAUTION | On the headlight not yet adjusted, perform aiming with connector removed and the lights switched off, if applicable. In addition, care should be taken to prevent a change of optical axis when connector is reconnected. Plastic outer lens are equipped with headlights. When lens surface is covered with materials for not penetrating light, headlight operation time should be within 3 minutes. In addition, masking such as taping should not be performed. |
Scheme 7
- Disconnect the battery.
- Disconnect the connector.
- Remove the socket cover. CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or dirty gloves as the bulb may pop after a short time. If the surface does become dirty, clean it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly before installing.
- Unhook the spring securing the bulb, and then remove the bulb. CAUTION: Do not touch the surface of the bulb with hands or dirty gloves as the bulb may pop after a short time. If the surface does become dirty, clean it with alcohol or thinner, and let it dry thoroughly before installing.
- Install the spring and sealing cover securely after the bulb replacement, or the lens will be out of focus, or water will get inside the light unit.
Scheme 8
- Disconnect the connector.
- Screw out the position light socket.
| CAUTION | As a principal, the position light can be removed as individual part. If not, remove the position light from the headlight and position light assembly, and then remove the position light from the headlight. Then replace the bulb. Do not touch the bulb surface bare-handed or with dirty gloves. If dirt is attached on surface of the bulb, immediately use alcohol or thinner to remove dirt, and install the bulb after well dried. |
Front Turn Signal Light bulb
Disconnect the connector, and screw out the front turn-signal light socket.
| CAUTION | Do not touch the bulb surface bare-handed or with dirty gloves. If dirt is attached on surface of the bulb, immediately use alcohol or thinner to remove dirt, and install the bulb after well dried. |
