Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today's guide will show us how to adjust the height of the headlights on the Volkswagen Up in simple steps. First, let's position ourselves in front of a fixed reference point, preferably in low light; then, we open the hood and locate the manual adjustment screw for the headlight, using a hex key, as shown in the video. At this point, we bring both headlights to the same height, adjusting each front headlight one by one; we then make the final adjustment using the control located inside the vehicle!
