Haedlight alignment - A and B?
In the workshop manual I can see following picture and "Position vehicle, unladen, on level ground with tyres correctly inflated, approximately 4 metres from a wall or screen, marked as illustrated below. The beam centres 'A' are measured horizontally on the vehicle and dimension 'B' vertically from the ground. Switch on main beam and adjust setting, as necessary, with trimmer screws."

What exacly dimensions of A and B shall I have with 2'' lifted vehicle?

1. you must park the truck on a leveled ground at 4 m from the wall
2. A = distance from the centre of the headlamps
3. B = is the distance of the centre o the headlamps from the floor for a normal truck, in your case is your distance - 2" Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Maybe I am missing something but surely A wont change and B will be 2" higher. Is this a trick question or am I just stupid?

I thought the B dimension on a 4 m distant wall shall be lower than the lamps itself. I have heard of 1%, so 4 cm lower than the lamps itself. Janusz

A is the same, B is better to regulate like original no lifted truck (may be can disturb the car in front of you).

Land Rover instructions is:
Position vehicle, unladen, on level ground with tyres correctly inflated, approximately 4 metres from a wall or screen, marked as illustrated below. The beam centres 'A' are measured horizontally on the vehicle and dimension 'B' vertically from the ground. Switch on main beam and adjust setting, as necessary, with trimmer screws.

thats means A is the measure from the centre of the headlamp and B is the vertical measure from the centre of the headlamp and the ground.......

In my case I "set-up" the correct alignment with the front headlamp level set to "1", so during off road I put it on "0" for a wider illumination......................... Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

First take it to your dealer for a service and the service list say "check and adjust the headlamp alignment"

Second its the left right throw thats the first adjustment then up or down isnt it? Def. left or right im not sure on the height Mike
