4.3 SELECTING HEADLAMP PATTERN
Not all headlamps are created alike and different vehicles
may have different design patterns. To be certain of the
lamp pattern, a designate is located on the lamp at the
bottom of the lens. Patterns of lamps that may be aligned
with the LCA 2
EZ are;

SAE HIGH BEAM: All high beam lamps. Highest
intensity point is centered on the Horizontal /
Vertical axis.

SAE LOW BEAM: All low beam lamps
manufactured prior to 1999, selective manufacture
after 1999. The high intensity area is located in the
lower right hand quadrant.

FOG/DRIVING LAMPS: All fog/driving lamps the
top of the high intensity area is located 4” down and
centered on the Vertical axis.
NOTE: DO NOT use “Visual Assist” Meter
for alignment assistance for Fog /
Driving Lamps

SAE LOW BEAM “ VOR ” (Visual Optical Right):
Low beam lamps manufactured after 1999, some
vehicles. The high intensity area is located in the
lower right hand quadrant and the beam pattern is
aligned by placing the right upper portion of the
beam pattern on the Horizontal axis.
NOTE: “Visual Assist” meter can be used when
aligning this lamp type if the lamp is
switched to HIGH beam and aligned as
High beam procedure.

SAE LOW BEAM “ VOL ” (Visual Optical Left):
Low beam lamps manufactured after 1999, some
vehicles. The high intensity area is located in the
lower right hand quadrant and the beam pattern is
aligned by placing the left upper portion of the beam
pattern on the .4 Degree (2.096”) Down Horizontal
axis.
NOTE: “Visual Assist” meter can be used when
aligning this lamp type if the lamp is
switched to HIGH beam and aligned as
High beam procedure.
