How to Adjust the Headlights on a Volkswagen Jetta

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this brief and simple guide, adjust the headlights manually on your Volkswagen Jetta. First, perform the automatic adjustment of the headlights from inside the car; position yourself against a fixed reference and visually check the height of both headlights. Next, open the bonnet and use a hex key to modify the height of both lamps until they are at the same level; avoid raising the lamps excessively to prevent visual disturbance to other vehicles.
