How do you adjust the headlights of the Mini Cooper?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Headlight

To adjust the front headlights of the Mini Cooper, you need to open the hood so that you can access the components located inside the engine compartment: behind the right front headlight, you will find a nut that can be adjusted using a hex key. By tightening the nut clockwise, you will notice that the beam of light from the headlights will be raised; conversely, you can lower the beam by loosening the nut and turning it counterclockwise.
