  Q: How to remove a headlight and ensure proper beam alignment on Volvo 244?

  A:

  To remove a headlight, pull out the socket connection at the rear and take off the rubber cover. Turn the chromed ring slightly anticlockwise, remove it, and lift out the headlight. The bulb can be removed by releasing the retaining clip and withdrawing the bulb. For proper beam alignment of the headlights, it is recommended to have it adjusted by a service station using modern optical setting equipment. The two adjusting screws are located at the rear of each headlight in the engine compartment.

  Q: What changes were made to the headlight and lighting design on Volvo 244?

  A:

  On 1978 models, the headlights project further forward to accommodate a new design of radiator grille, utilizing a spacer and mounting plate for this adjustment. The headlight beam can be adjusted by inserting a screwdriver into the cut-outs in the headlight trim. Rectangular headlights were introduced in 1979, and in 1981, they were modified along with the wrap-around direction indicators, with each unit being secured by four nuts. From 1981 onward, halogen type bulbs or sealed beam units have been progressively introduced.
