940 headlamp aiming 900 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Joshua on  Sat Jun 30 04:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I recently upgraded my 945T headlamps from US to e-code. Both US and e-code have three adjusting screws for each side, and I'm curious to know....

a) is this correct:

outer knob = horizontal aiming

middle knob = low beam light vertical aiming

inner knob = fog light vertical aiming

b) what's the proper aiming for the fog light?

c) what's the proper aiming for side-to-side on the low beams? This page:

http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/how_to/aim/

suggests that the horizontal aiming should be dead ahead - can anyone confirm? If so, I want to ensure that the outer knob is in fact for horizontal adjustment.

I have the vertical adjustment OK for the low beams (about 3" down @ 25 feet) but the light distribution is still uneven, I think because of the side-to-side adjustment.

If someone has aiming instructions (preferably in English) from a manual for a non-US/Canada 940 (1991-1998 I think) I'd love to know what they say.

Thanks.
