Document identifies challenges with headlamp aiming for glare prevention. UP-DOWN aiming challenges include vehicle actual load and cut-off line definition. LEFT-RIGHT aiming challenges include references on the vehicle and kink point definition. Cut-off line definition makes it difficult to check up-down aiming; kink point definition makes it difficult to check left-right aiming. The beam pattern must be used to check alignment. The way forward includes reviewing criteria for passing-beam orientation in approval and adapting inspection criteria accordingly.
