I-CAR · March 10, 2021
Summary
This article explains that adaptive lighting systems rely on inputs from height, speed, and steering angle sensors to adjust headlamps. It highlights that while headlamp removal typically only requires beam aiming, full calibration is often required after replacing sensors, modules, or suspension components.
What to do on the job
Always check the vehicle-specific service manual for exact calibration and aiming requirements after removing or replacing headlamps, sensors, or suspension components.
