• A beam spread that covers a horizontal range of 120 degrees, ensuring wide illumination across the roadway.
• Low power consumption relative to older halogen units, contributing to overall vehicle efficiency.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery and remove any existing headlight assembly. Ensure that the mounting area is clean and free of debris.
2. Mounting: Align the Van Wezel 5818964 Headlight with the front bumper bracket. Secure it using the provided quick-release clips, tightening until a firm lock is achieved.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the headlight’s wiring harness to the vehicle’s electrical system. Verify polarity and secure all connections with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape.
4. Alignment Check: Use a headlight alignment kit to adjust the beam pattern so that it meets regulatory standards for horizontal and vertical angles.
5. Testing: Reconnect the battery, turn on the headlights, and confirm proper illumination. Adjust as necessary before finalizing installation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the lens regularly for cracks or scratches; replace if visibility is compromised.
• Clean the exterior with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to prevent dust accumulation.
• Check electrical connections annually, especially after exposure to extreme temperatures.
• Replace the bulb according to manufacturer recommendations (typically every 1–2 years for HID).
