In this short guide, we will see the instructions on how to adjust the height of the front headlights of the Volkswagen Polo. First, let's open the car's hood and start locating the manual adjustment screw for the front headlight, which is located right behind the optical group; using a hex key, we will either loosen or tighten the screw, positioning ourselves in front of a fixed reference with low light to align the height of both front headlights.

All that remains is to make the final adjustment from the manual light control located inside the cabin.
