8.3 Visually inspect and check condition of all lights fittedto the vehicleReasons for rejection:a) Any light is not clearly visible under all normal conditions and of a consistent intensity, or are affected by dirtylenses or poor electrical contact.b) Reflector surfaces are not free of tarnish or other damage, which could reduce the intensity of high or low beam.c) Headlights are not correctly focused.d) Lenses and light reflectors are not securely mounted, are faded or discolored and are not free from cracks, holes,or other damage which would allow the entry of moisture or dirt to impair the efficiency of the light or reflector.8.4 Visually inspect and check light switch operationReasons for rejection:a) The headlight high beam tell tale indicator light is not operating.b) Additional headlights (driving lights) do not operate in conjunction with the high beam circuit, and are not fittedwith an independent on/off switch.c) The high/low headlight switch and turn signal switch is not readily operable by the driver from the driving positionand, if fitted as original equipment by the manufacturer, is not self-cancelling.d) The turn signal operation is not indicated by means of a visible and/or audible telltale.e) The reverse light (if applicable) operates other than when reverse gear is selected.f) Any fog lights fitted can not be switched independently of the main or dipped beam headlamps.g) Fog light switch (after September 1991) does not have a tell tale indicator to indicate that the switch is on.8.5 Visually inspect front and rear lights for the presenceof tinted coversReasons for rejectiona) any light has a tinted cover over it, or any tinting applied to it.b) there is any opaque cover over a headlight which cannot be readily removed without the use of tools.8.6 Using a headlight tester, check the aim of theheadlightsReasons for rejectiona) the aim of the headlight is adjusted such that, when on high beam and measured at an effective distance of 8m,the projected centre of the beam is to the right of the headlight centre and/or is above the headlight centre.b) when measured at an effective distance of 8m, any part of the top edge of the high intensity portion of the lowbeam pattern is above and/or to the right of the centreline of the headlight.NOTES:In the region above and to the right of the centreline of the headlight the luminous intensity must not exceed 437cd.The portion of the beam to the left of the centreline of the light may extend above the height of the centreline of the headlight.The “centreline of the headlight” passes through the centre of the globe filament, or equivalent.Light Vehicle Inspection ManualVersion 11, December 2013 39
