Headlight adjustment position on the Peugeot 208

Model: Peugeot 208 A9, MK 1 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let's see this very short video, which however gives us an indication of where the headlight adjustment of the Peugeot 208 is located: we open the hood and locate the headlight that we want to adjust: on the upper side of the headlight body we will find black hex screws. The height adjustment is the most common and is located on the upper side of the headlight, facing upwards; not all versions have the screw for horizontal axis adjustment, and it is located on one side of the headlight itself. The adjustment should be done by pointing the headlights at a white surface 5/10 meters away, and we find the reference point which is the highest point of the light beam, which should be below the height of the headlights.
