Adjusting Headlamps The following is how I've always set headlamps on LHD c=
ar driving on the right side of the road here in North America. Many years =
ago my Dad went along with me to show me how to aim the headlamps on my old=
'61 MGA. We went out onto a quiet straight flat stretch of country road at=
night and stopped on the road in the normal lane position of travel (makin=
g sure it was a place where there would be no other traffic). With headlamp=
rings already removed and adjusters accessible, we first placed my jacket =
over the left headlamp and proceeded to aim the right lamp so the beam was =
about 30 ft. ahead and clearly defining the edge of the pavement and the sh=
oulder. I was told that this is important when having to find the edge of t=
he road in bad conditions such as fog, snow and so on. Then we proceeded to=
cover the right lamp and aim the left. This was set about straight ahead a=
nd much further out, about 80 ft. or so, and being careful that it did not =
shine to the left to impair oncoming drivers. This has the lamps working as=
a team, curbside one to always clearly light the right edge of the road an=
d onto the shoulder somewhat, while the left showed up the distance. A doub=
le check was done by checking the high beam to make sure the left (distance=
) lamp still did not shine too high and be useless or too far to the oncomi=
ng lane. It's always worked well for me. Rich Chrysler
