ABSTRACT:
An optical axis adjusting system comprises at least one lighting unit such as a vehicle's head lamp unit, and at least one optical instrument. The lighting unit comprises a housing having a reflector, and a lens having first and second portions which are positioned so that the first and second portions intersect, respectively, imaginery first and second straight lines that are parallel to the optical axis of the lighting unit and symmetrical with respect to the optical axis. The optical instrument has a light projecting unit for projecting a light beam such as a laser beam to the reflector through the first portion of the lens, and a light receiving unit for receiving a reflected beam reflected from the reflector and transmitted through the second portion of the lens. The lighting unit has at least one adjusting screw by which the aim of the lighting unit is adjusted so that reflected beam is correctly received by the receiving unit.
