In this tutorial, you will see how to adjust the headlights on a Volkswagen Atlas, a very simple and quick task. First, position the vehicle in front of a light-colored wall, preferably white, about 6.5 ft away.

Then, turn on the low beam headlights, open the hood, and locate the black screw behind each headlamp. At this point, rotate the two screws clockwise or counterclockwise using a 6mm hex wrench until the light beam is about 3.3 ft high and perfectly level.

Finally, drive a few feet to verify that the new adjustment is correct.
