1. Copy the A and B templates for left-hand  
drive cars or the C and D templates for  
right-hand drive cars, see later section  
"Templates for halogen headlamps". The  
templates have a scale of 1:2. Use a pho-  
tocopier with a zoom function for exam-  
ple, and copy the templates at 200 %:  
A = LHD Right (left-hand drive, right  
lens)  
03  
B = LHD Left (left-hand drive, left lens)  
C = RHD Right (right-hand drive, right  
lens)  
D = RHD Left (right-hand drive, left  
lens)  
2. Transfer the template to a self-adhesive  
waterproof material and cut it out.  
3. Start from the design line on the head-  
lamp lenses; see the dotted line in the fol-  
lowing figure. Position the self-adhesive  
templates at the right distance from each  
design line using the illustration and the  
dimensions in the following list:  
A = LHD Right - approx. 86 mm  
B = LHD Left - approx. 40 mm  
C = RHD Right - 0 mm  
D = RHD Left - approx. 96 mm
