Let's see how to adjust the headlights of a Mini Cooper R50: we need to open the hood to access the adjustment screws, which are two for each headlight. One has a slotted head for a flat screwdriver that adjusts the height, and the other is round, which adjusts the lateral alignment.

The video shows us how to make the adjustment by pointing the beam of light at a wall and preparing the wall by marking what is the cut-off line (5/7 cm below the actual height of the headlight). Then we project the beam of light and adjust accordingly.

The final goal is for the upper edge to align with the cut-off line for both the right and left headlights.
