Subaru 84001AE13A Drivers Headlamp Replacement

The headlights need always to be aimed properly so that motorists on the road ahead are not blinded and visibility is enhanced on the roads. In light of the above, it is recommended that the aim should be checked at least once in a year or each time a new headlight is fitted or front-end bodywork is carried out. The following procedure offers a temporary fix until the client can find a pro who can realign the car: The vertical adjustment of each light is controlled by respectively providing one adjusting screw to each light. A basic technique includes using blank wall, which is at a distance of half the length of the vehicle from it and a level floor. The vertical masking tape should be put on the wall while it is parallel to the vehicle's center line and the center point of each headlight; a horizontal line of the masking tapes should also be drawn for convenience. Required position with respect to car should be said to be leaning and the fuel indicator should be near half full and there should be no heavy items in the car. Low beam adjustment increasing the high-intensity zone of two inches below the horizontal line and two inches to the right of the headlight vertical line is done by turning the adjusting screw. Indeed, if the high beams are activated, the high-intensity zone should be positioned slightly below the horizontal line of the figure. Sometimes, it may not be possible to have an alignment that meets standards for both the high and the low beams Therefore it is safe to opt for the low beams. Take the car for an alignment as soon as possible especially the headlights.

Disconnect the electrical connector(s) from the headlight bulb(s) and from the parking, turn signal, and side-marker light bulbs.
