Service Procedure:
Steps 1-9 are for setup of station for first Genesis G80 vehicle.
Steps 10-20 are for headlamp aiming and adjustment, assuming station is already setup; Please
ensure that vehicle's tires are inflated to proper specification prior to performing headlamp aiming
and adjustment.
NOTICE
To perform the headlamp aiming check and adjustment, a distance of 118 1/8 inches is
required between the vehicle and wall or screen. Vehicle should also be on a flat surface.
If the floor surface is not flat, refer to the steps from below to level the floor.

1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface in front of a
screen or wall.
Approximately 100 inches
Ensure the wall or screen is wide enough to
display both the left and right headlamp beams.
2. Check the front and rear tire pressure to ensure
it is inflated to the correct pressure (38psi).
Adjust the tire pressure by inflating or deflating
as necessary.

3. Measure 118 1/8 in. from the wall and place two
pieces of masking tape or two marks
approximately 5.5 ft. apart from each other onto
the floor.
NOTICE
118 1/8 in.
The purpose of these two markings is to
provide assistance with aligning the
vehicle in parallel to the wall/screen
along with approximate distance. The
measurement in the next step will be
precise.
Approx. 5.5 ft.
4. Drive the vehicle towards the two marks/tapes
on the floor and measure 118 1/8 in. from the
headlamp center point imprinted circle to the
wall/screen.
Confirm both the left and right headlamps
center points are 118 1/8 in. away from the
wall/screen. This will ensure the vehicle is
paralleled with the wall/screen.

The center point for the light bulb is the circle
imprinted on the headlamp. It may be difficult to
see the imprinted circle, so viewing from
different angles is required.
The picture to the right illustrates the location of
the imprinted circle overlay with the blue tape
for better visual.

5. Mark the center of the tire locations for each
wheel
Place a masking tape at the center of the
tire, and draw a line to match with the center
wheel axle.
Floor Level Validation
6. Move the vehicle away from the 4 marked tape
points.
7. Connect the Laser to the Tripod and move it to
one of the four tire markings on the floor.
Turn the laser ON and confirm it is projecting a
horizontal beam.
Adjust the Tripod tilt if necessary until the laser
is showing a stable beam, and shooting across
to all the other three corners.

NOTICE
The laser is a self-leveling system. As
long as the laser is showing a constant
beam, it is shooting a straight line.
8. Adjust the laser to any height desired (ex. 10”,
15”, 20”, 25” and etc.), and then tighten the
tripod legs and laser to ensure the setting does
not change.
Take measurements of the remaining three
markings on the floor.

9. Compare the four height measurements. If they
are all the same height then the floor is leveled.
If not, then proceed with using the 1/8”
hardwood/metal plank(s) to shim the floor.
Example of measurements and shimming:
This measurement indicates the floor
at this corner has a slight dip of 3/8”.
Therefore, three 1/8” shims are
needed to level this corner.
Confirm all four corners are at the same height.

If necessary, use duct tape to tape the
plank(s) onto the floor. This will
prevent slippage and save the setup for
the next vehicle.
NOTICE
The picture to the right is only an
example. There are cases where
multiple corners will require shimming.

10. Drive the vehicle and align the tires onto the
four marks on the floor.
If applicable, ensure the hardboard/metal
shimming does not slip away from the tire.
Ensure both the left and right headlamp circle
markings on the headlamp are 118 1/8 in. away
from the wall.
11. Place a piece of masking tape next to the
imprinted circle to each headlamp. The
masking tape will make it easier to see the

This will confirm the vehicles is leveled.
Projected laser beam
13. Use a tape measurement or yard stick and
measure the height of the low beam imprinted
circle mark on the headlamp to the ground or
shim (if applicable).
If the tire is shimmed then the ground level is
the top of the shim.
Confirm the measurement of the imprinted
circle mark is 27 1/16 in. to the ground/shim.
27 1/16 in.
NOTICE
If necessary, move the laser and tripod
towards the wheel and align the laser
beam to the imprinted circle mark on the
headlamp. Take the measurement from
the projected beam to the ground.

15. Make a mark or place a piece of masking tape
on the wall following the laser line.
16. Remove the masking tape on the headlamps,
and turn the ignition and headlights ON.
NOTICE
If possible, lower/dim the shop light so
it is easier to see the headlight beam
cut-off line.
17. Confirm if the top of the beam light for both the
left and right side are at the line on the wall. If
not, adjust the beam by following the procedure
described in the next step.

NOTICE
Perform the headlight beam adjustment
with the vehicle unoccupied. The vehicle
must be empty.
Cut-Off Line Explained
NOTICE
Both the left and right headlamp produces a slight bluish and yellowish light right above
the brightest point of the beam. The Cut-Off line is right above the bluish/yellowish area.
NOTICE
The location to concentrate the viewing point is approximately 6 inches to the right from
where the curved area ends. Use this location to adjust the headlight beam height to
align with the tape/mark on the wall/screen.
