How to adjust the headlights in the BMW 5 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Headlight

In this tutorial, we can see how to adjust the front headlights on the BMW 5 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, we position the vehicle in front of a dark-colored wall, about 8 meters away, then we insert the key, turn on the headlights, and open the hood. We then locate the adjustment bolts located on the back of both headlights and, using a 10mm socket wrench, tighten or loosen them until the light beam is at the same height as the headlight itself, usually about 60 centimeters. Finally, we test the adjustment by driving a few kilometers.
