Headlight
Adjustment
Befole adiusting the headlights:
a Park the car on level ground.
a Make sure the fuel tank is full.
The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.
Load the trunk with the items you usually carry (if you
usually pull a trailer, attach jt to the car).
Push down on the front and rear bumpers several
times to make sure the car is sitting normally.
When installing a new headlight assembly, tighten the
four mounting bolts so that the indicator in the verti-
cal gauge comes to the "O" mark.
HORIZONTAL ANGLEGAUGE
HORIZONTALADJUSTER
'1. Open the hood.
2. Check that both the horizontal and vertical gauge
rcad "O" .
a lf the gauges tead "O", check headlight aiming
with the aiming charts on page 23-171. (lf aiming
isn't correct. refer to the frame repair chart in
section 20).
a lf one or both gauges don't read "O", go to step
23-170
3. Turn the low beams on. lf necessary, align the verti-
cal indicator with its "O" mark by turning the verti-
cal adjuster with a Phillips screwdriver, and check
aiming with the chan on page 23-171.
lf necessary, align the horizontal indicator with its"O" mark by turning the horizontal adjuster with a
Phillips screwdriver, and check aiming with the
chart on page 23-171.
5.Recheck that the vertical indicator bubble is aligned
with "0" t 1.
lf necessary, adjust as described in step 3.
Turn the high beams on and check aiming with the
charts on page 23-171.

Headlight Replacement
1. Remove the front bumper (see section 20).
2. Remove the mounting bolts, then pull out the head-
light, and disconnect the connectors from it.
After replacement, the horizontal and venical aim-
ing must be checked using conventional methods.
Use the aiming charts on page 23-171.
Bulb Replacement
CAUTION:
a Halogen headlights can becomo very hot in use; do
not touch them or the attaching haldware imm6diately
after they have been tuh6d ott.a Do not try to replace or cl6an the headlights with tho
lights on.
1. Disconnect the 2P connector(s) from the headlight.
Turn the bulb(s) counterclockwise and remove the
bulb(s).

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the controller and the
instrument panel.
Remove the instrument panel from the dashboard
(see page 23-126).
Remove the dash lights brightness controller from
the dashboard, then disconnect the 3P connector.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be
sure they are all making good contact.
a lf the terminals are bent, loose or cortoded, repair
them as necessary, and recheck the system.
a It the terminals look OK, make the following in-
put tests at the connector.- lf any test indicates a problem, find and cor
rect the cause, then recheck the system.
It all the input tests prove OK, the dash lights
brightness controller must be faulty; replace it.

Circuit ldentification for In'Line and Fuse Box Connectors
tuse the chart (on page 204, sample below) to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate
circuits which could be caused by a single problem in a connect,oishared by those circuits'
Here's how that chart could help you find such a problem:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit'
2. Make a list of all in-lrne and fuse box connectors in that schematic (include page numbers).
3. Then, in the chart, look up each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other
symptoms run through one of them. lf they do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The horn, A,/C, and the right headlight don't work. List all in-line and fuse box
connectors in the horn circuit and then check the chart (sample below). You find that C211 is
common to the A,/C circuit and the headlight circuit, so you inspect c211 and find the problem:
bent terminals.
