How to adjust the headlights of the Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Checks and maintenance

Below are the instructions that will allow us to adjust the headlights of the vintage Fiat 500. First, we open the front hood of the car and begin to locate the side screw behind the front headlight; this will be the one that will adjust the height of the front headlight, thus adjusting the height of the light beam thanks to a spring mechanism, as shown in the video. To make the adjustment, all we need is a socket wrench, positioning ourselves in front of a reference with low light to carry out the operation.
