Headlight adjustment, alignment, and setting

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

In this video we can see how to adjust and align the headlights: we see how to adjust the height of our headlights. We need to stand in front of a white wall, and make marks where the beam of light starts to rise upwards and to the right. Place a meter right in front of the low beam light, and as a rule the height of the headlights decreases by one centimeter every meter: so here the beam of light in front of the headlight was 66 cm and on the wall, since the car is positioned at 5 meters, it should be at 61 cm. Obviously the measurement must be the same on both the right and left sides.
