The video shows how to adjust the headlights of a BMW E90 Series 3. It is a very simple operation that can be done using the lines of your garage door as a reference. Use tape to mark the position of the headlights before adjusting them. To adjust them according to your needs, open the hood and adjust the headlight adjusters with a 6 mm Allen wrench (or alternatively, a screwdriver). Turn the wrench counterclockwise to raise the headlights or clockwise to lower them. Perform this operation on all the headlights you wish to adjust.
