I did retrofit a Lexus projector to my car and wonders whether there are workshop who has the headlight beam aligner?

The machine which has the horizontal and vertical beam alignment.

If you use an european headlight aimer chance your ride will not make through headlight alignment test in the inspection centre.

[Anthonyh]

Yes it is possible. But before that do a test drive and then just your journey.

[Goincrazy]

why not park on a straight road with no obstacles 100m ahead then you adjust it to the idea level??

[Ahgong]

Park car about 10 feet away from a wall. Switch on high beam, the rule of thumb - the beam should shin 5deg downward and 5deg towards the driver left side

 

read thru 6 pages. still no exact specifications on how to adjust the beam to meet inspection specifications.

5 degree a bit hard to measure for light beam. no?

 

any more, erm... better, definitive way to do the adjustments?

It's very diificult to adjust modern day cars headlights with simple european design workshop headlight aimers let alone using a target board drawn on the wall.

hmmm... so in this case, there is no way for us to know if the headlights is properly adjusted until we go for inspection?

Currently , vehicle test centres does conduct headlights alignment and brightness tests and will consider a major fault of the overall test if only the headlight fails the luminous test.
