Saturn 22702945 Headlamp Assembly (W/ Turn Signal Lamp)

The headlights must be aimed properly that they will not glare other motorists on the road and at the same ensure proper illumination of the road is done. The aim should therefore be checked annually or whenever there is change of the headlight or front-end body work. The following is a guide to do it for a transitional period until you can get an expert to do an alignment. The models discussed are not fitted with any horizontal adjustment screws. To correct the headlights, needs a piece of masking tape, a wall without any writing, and a flat surface. First place the vertical line using the masking tape across the wall and aligning with the centre line of the car as well as the centre lines of both headlights, then a horizontal line of the masking tape for easier alignment. Sometimes it may be very convenient to apply the tape when the vehicle is several inches away from a wall for instance. It should be parked 25 meters away from a wall, on a flat land, with half tank of gas, and should not be loaded. For low beam adjustment the high intensity zone should be adjusted two inches below the horizontal line by loosening off the vertical adjusting screw. Turn on the high beams and make sure that the high intensive area is illuminated slightly below the horizontal line. It may not be possible to attain perfect dimensions for both low and high beams, thus it is advisable to go for low beams so that maximum safety is guaranteed. Get the headlights realigned at the first opportunity available.

Installation is the reverse of removal.
