The procedure to adjust the headlights on a Volkswagen Polo is done from inside the cabin, where you can find the dial located on the left side of the dashboard, right next to the steering wheel. This dial can be turned down to direct the beam of light downwards; conversely, you can rotate the dial upwards to raise the beam of light.

Once the headlight angle adjustment is complete, turn on the headlights using the switch to check that the changes have taken effect.
