The instructions in this guide will show you how to adjust the height of the front headlights on a Volkswagen Tiguan. First, get in the vehicle and start the ignition; position yourself in front of a fixed reference point, preferably in low light.

At this point, use the headlight height adjustment control found at the bottom left, next to the light switch; raise or lower the front bulbs until you achieve the optimal result. If the headlight units are at different heights, it will be necessary to adjust the height of the headlights manually from the engine bay.
