How to Adjust the Headlights on a Smart ForTwo?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Headlight

Adjusting the front headlight on a Smart ForTwo is very simple; for this, you will need a 4mm Allen key or, alternatively, a flat-head screwdriver. As indicated in the attached video, the headlight adjustment involves unscrewing and screwing the white plastic nut located at the top of each bulb unit. This way, you can adjust the vertical angle of the light beam. Remember to perform the adjustment tests by pointing the headlights at a white wall to correctly visualise the illuminated area and achieve proper calibration.
