When I run the Headlamp Alignment And Calibration service procedure I am warned to have equipment available. What equipment is required to complete this procedure?

Car is a MK4 Mondeo.

Thanks.

This procedure is used not only for the headlamp calibration but also for a headlamp beam adjustment. In order to adjust the beam, you need special equipment. Such equipment is usually available only in workshop. In your case, you have 2 options:

1. If the headlamp beam on your vehicle is already adjusted, you most likely do not need any adjustment
2. If adjustment is necessary (for example in case when one of components was replaced with new one), you can use a "garage" method to adjust the beam. Information on how to do it can be found in the Net, for example:

OK, so it's no more than a basic headlamp adjustment. I can handle that.

Thanks.

Looking to calibrate my Ford Kuga MY2017 adaptive xenon headlights. Headlamp Control Module (HCM) is supported from what i see. Should i check anything else (as far as support is concerned) before i purchase the obd adaptor?
