[0033] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a universal tooling for automotive lighting modules according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a front view of a universal tooling for automotive lighting modules according to this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1-2 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a universal tooling for automotive lighting modules is illustrated, comprising: a chassis 1, a rotating disk 2, a height gauge 3, an adjusting rod 4, a locking structure 5, and a headlight module 6.

The angle pointer 8 points to the scale on the angle ruler 9 to display the size of the angle adjustment of the headlight module 6 in the vertical plane in real time.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the adjustment structure 7 includes an adjustment bracket (not shown in the figure) and a locking assembly. One end of the adjustment bracket is hinged to the adjustment rod 4, and the other end is fitted with the vehicle light module 6. The locking assembly is disposed between the adjustment bracket and the adjustment rod 4 and is used to lock the adjustment bracket to the adjustment rod 4.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the locking component is a bolt lock.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting frame is hinged to the adjusting rod 4 via a hinge shaft. The adjusting rod 4 has a locking threaded hole, and a locking bolt is installed in the threaded hole.
