7. When you have finished the first adjustment, turn on the main beam: the zone of maximum light intensity must be displaced in a direction crossing the vertical lines with a horizontal, was slightly lower than the last. | Get the same full alignment of both the passing beam and high beam in practice not possible. It should try to achieve a compromise solution allowing for the operation of the vehicle, keeping at the forefront of striving for maximum safety. |
