Head Lamps

Inspection

1. Check-points upon head lamp failure (HID)
(1) Check the battery voltage. (Low beam will be on when the battery voltage above 9V.)
(2) Check the fuse and relay.
(3) Check the polarity of ballast. (If the polarity are changed, low beam doesn't lighten)
(4) Check the bulb connector securely.
(5) Visually bulb checking (no filament): damaged glass, damaged for upper parts and lower parts of glass tube.
(6) After (1)~(5), replace the ballast and the ignitor. (ballast assembly).




2. Service procedure and warning (HID)






CAUTION:
HID lamp shall not be used on other cars.(Fire may occur.)
Fire may occur when HID lamp initially lights due to the fact that arc-discharge generates high voltage (max. 30,000V) and high current (12-13A), and are different from the halogen lamp specification.

Characteristic
1. Durable for vibration as there is no filament.
2. HID lamp had a more long life than halogen lamp.
3. Does not operate if polarity is changed.
4. Operating input voltage : 9-16V

Head Lamp Aiming Instructions

The head lamps should be aimed with the proper beam-setting equipment, and in accordance with the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

NOTE:
If there are any regulations pertinent to the aiming of head lamps in the area where the vehicle is to be used, adjust so as to meet those requirements.

Alternately turn the adjusting gear to adjust the head lamp aiming. If beam-setting equipment is not available, proceed as follows:
1. Inflate the tires to the specified pressure and remove any loads from the vehicle except the driver, spare tire, and tools.
2. The vehicle should be placed on a flat floor.
3. Draw vertical lines (Vertical lines passing through respective head lamp centers) and a horizontal line (Horizontal line passing through center of head lamps) on the screen.
4. With the head lamp and battery in normal condition, aim the head lamps so the brightest portion falls on the horizontal and vertical lines.
Make vertical(A) adjustments to the lower beam using the adjusting wheel.






Front Fog Lamp Aiming
The front fog lamps should be aimed as the same manner of the head lamps aiming.

With the front fog lamps and battery normal condition, aim the front fog lamps by turning the adjusting screw(A) with a driver.






Head Lamp And Fog Lamp Aiming Point








1. General Type (VOR)
A. Turn the low beam on without driver aboard.
B. The cut-off line should be projected in the allowable range (shaded region) shown in the picture.
C. If head lamp leveling device is equipped, adjust the head lamp leveling device switch with 0 positions.




2. HID Type (VOL)
A. Turn the low beam on without driver aboard.
B. The cut-off line should be projected in the cut-off line shown in the picture.
C. If head lamp leveling device is equipped, adjust the head lamp leveling device switch with 0 positions.




3. Turn the front fog lamp on without the driver aboard.
The cut-off line should be projected in the allowable range (shaded region)
