Test (Canada)
CAUTION: The d.ytime running lights resistor becomesvery hot when the daytime running lights are on; do nottouch it or the attaching hardware immediately allerthe lighls have been turned off.
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the resistor.
Measure the resistance between the resistor termi-nal No. 1 (or No. 2) and the power terminal No. 3.
Resistance: 1.0 - 2.0 O
Replace the resistor with a new one if any of theresistances are beyond specification.

ately after they have been turned off.
1. ODen the hood.
2. Remove the left inner fender {see section 20).
3. Checkthe horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear should
be aligned with the mark.

ing the adjusters.
NOTE:
. As the outer lenses are made of an acrylicoated,
polycarbonated material, do not cover the head-
lights when they are turned on
. When making horizontal adiustments, slide the
horizontal indicator gear rearward.
After horizontal adjustment, put back the hori-
zontal indicator gear.
