Check headlight aim using a headlight tester

  1. (Includes driving lights and alternative headlights)

NOTE: This section should be read in conjunction with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Reasons for rejection

  • the aim of the headlight is adjusted such that, when on high beam and measured at an effective distance of 8m, the projected centre of the beam is to the right of the headlight centre and/or is above the headlight centre;
  • measured at an effective distance of 8m, any part of the top edge of the high intensity portion of the low beam pattern is above and to the right of the centreline of the headlight;

NOTES:

  1. in the region above and to the right of the centreline of the headlight the luminous intensity must not exceed 437cd.
  2. the portion of the beam to the left of the centreline of the light may extend above the height of the centreline of the headlight.
  3. the "centreline of the headlight" passes through the centre of the globe filament, or equivalent
  • the headlight high beam indicator light is not operating
