Adjustment and Alignment of Headlights

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Headlight

Video tutorial

This guide explains the importance of headlight alignment and how to adjust headlights on all cars. All vehicles have the ability to adjust the headlights both in depth and direction.

With your steering wheel on the left, you need to illuminate the road ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic, while providing more light on the right side of the road to clearly see road signs and any pedestrians or cyclists. This is achieved by adjusting the screws on the headlights and projecting the beam of light onto a flat, clear surface to see how the cone is projected.

Consequently, you can adjust the screws on the headlights, which should be checked periodically, as poorly maintained roads can affect alignment.
