Headlight Aiming

[ramledi]

just replaced the busted stock h4 bulb of my hilander with an all weather bulb this evening.

my question is, how do i adjust the aim of the headlight? i can't seem to find the adjuster. unlike my sentra the adjuster is very visible.

If you replaced a halogen H4 bulb with another halogen H4, there should be no difference in the aim. Regardless of brand.

I agree. Changing the bulbs should not alter the aim of the headlamps.

sirs bakit pag naka low-beam ako masyadong di ko nakikita yung ilaw?
halos parang di nakasindi so i switch the fog lamps for better view.
normal ba ito sa crosswind xto?
TIA!

No. Check:

• Headlight aiming
• Bulbs. One may already be busted. (Remember, H4 ang bulbs kaya combined ang Hi and Low beam. One may already be shot)
• Headlights may already need cleaning

Since we are in topic, let me share to Crosswind 2005~ owners how to adjust your respective headlights:




Hope this helps.

your illustration is very helpful ... except for the beam pattern that applies to right-hand drive vehicles

for our left-hand drive vehicles, the pattern is reversed, i.e., the slope goes upward on the right side, like this __/

sir benzmizer thanks alot! i'll try to follow the manual, very helpful indeed!

sir btw, what is the ideal wattage if i should replace the bulbs?
sorry i have no idea and i prefer sana the "stock" wattage lang para iwas complications. and aside from osram are there any other brands that you can suggest and that can bring out enough light without harming the casings or electricals? and hehe price din sana.
thanks!

The standard (stock) bulb wattage of a Crosswind is 55/60. Either of Philips, OSRAM brands are reliable.

One alternative you could do so you need not have to worry of damaging your wiring harness is to use CERAMIC BULB SOCKETS. I think it's around 1,200-1,500. That includes 2 ceramic sockets, wiring harness and relays. You can then use 90/100 bulbs after installing this without worries.

Philips or OSRAM brand comes into mind. Any auto supply has these. These are normally the brands manufacturers use as OEM bulbs.

sir benzmizer, salamat ng marami!

na aim ko na ng sa gusto ko yung headlight ng hilander namin

3 days ang inabot ko bago ko naperfect yung aim na gusto ko hehehe

[goldrat]

how do you change the orientation of the headlights for a right hand drive vehicle to one that was converted to left hand drive. read some where that shims are added or that the headlight bracket is replaced to achieve the correct position.
