How to Quickly Adjust Your Car's Headlights

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

To quickly adjust your car's headlights, while waiting for a fine adjustment from the mechanic, do the following: position yourself in front of a wall, about 5 to 6 metres away. You should see that on the wall, the beam of light forms two wedges with the highest part towards the right. They must also be aligned with each other; they cannot be at different heights, as this would indicate incorrect adjustment. They must not point upwards either, as oncoming vehicles should not be dazzled by your lights. Another issue you might encounter is poor brightness. Nowadays, headlights are made of polycarbonate, which can become cloudy over time; if they are very cloudy, they will not let light pass through, and you won't see anything. In this case, treat them with cleaning kits available on the market (and our tutorials will help you do the job).
