Toyota 81110-02210 Passenger Side Headlight Assembly

To make sure one does not blind fellow drivers on the road and also to ensure visibility on the road, the headlights have to be aimed well. The inspection can be done after a year or time that another headlight is fitted or front end body work is carried out. The following procedure gives a brief fix until one can get an expert to do the right alignment. Each housing of headlight has one or two adjustment screws in the vertical direction but no adjustment screw in the horizontal direction. Here, it is advised to make use of masking tape, a blank wall and a level floor in the process of adjusting the headlights. Place the tape vertically on that wall along the vehicle center line and the centerlines of the two headlight and place a horizontal tape along the centerlines of headlight when the car is backed a few inches off the wall. They should be made with the vehicle situated 25 feet from the wall, parked horizontally and having half tank of petrol and no load carrying. To make low beam adjustment, align the high intensity region two inches below the horizontal line. When the high beams are ON, make sure the high beam high-intensity zone is located vertically superimposed on the horizontal line. In case of compromise, consider preserving the low beams the most as they are utilized much more and determine security to a great extent. To do this ensure that the headlights have been adjusted by a dealer service department or by a service station as soon as possible.

Remove the retaining bolts, detach the housing, and withdraw it from the vehicle (Headlight housing mounting screws).

The simplest method requires masking tape, a blank wall, and a level floor.

Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to check headlight adjustment.
