Abstract
A wire length adjusting device comprises an adjust screw threadedly engaging a nut fixed to one end of a headlight mounting frame, the other end of which is hingedly mounted to a vehicle body. The adjust screw has a head disposed within an area on outside of the headlight mounting frame. A wire for adjusting a headlight beam has one end anchored to the adjust screw and the other end operatively connected to a controller having its manually operative dial extending into the passenger compartment. A member, such as a headlight finisher or a radiator grill, mounted to the vehicle body within an area on outside of the headlight mounting frame is formed with a hole so as to permit a mating tool for turning the head of the adjust screw to reach the head of the adjust screw, whereby the wire length compensation can be carried out from the outside of the vehicle without removing the member.
