  1. Loosen the spot lamp bracket clamp bolt.
  2. Grasp the spot lamp.
  3. Slowly rotate the spot lamp inboard until the shaft contacts the parkstop position.

  4. Rotate the spot lamp slowly outboard to 5 degrees past the vertical position in order for the backstop to be in motion and the outer tube shaft to rotate.
  5. Tighten the bracket clamp bolt sufficiently, in order to prevent the outer shaft tube from rotating while the spotlamp is moving between the stop positions.
  6. Rotate the spot lamp head inboard to the parkstop position in order to prevent the spot lamp from coming in contact with the body components.
  7. Position the parkstop of the shaft in order to rotate the spot lamp on its axis, clearing the nearest body components by 13-0.5 mm (0.50-0.02 in).
  8. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  9. Tighten the bracket clamp screw when the parkstop has been set, in order to prevent rotation of the spot lamp shaft.
