How to adjust the brightness of the headlights on the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
Tiguan L headlight brightness adjustment method is: 1. Locate the headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the vehicle's dashboard; 2. Setting 1 raises the headlight height by one level; 3. Setting 2 provides a relatively higher headlight height; 4. Setting 3 is the highest level; 5. Pressing the decrease button lowers the headlight height. The Tiguan L is a mid-size SUV with dimensions of 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, 1673mm in height, a wheelbase of 2791mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. This vehicle is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm.
Adjusting the headlight height of the Tiguan L is quite simple, and I often help friends with this. Sit in the driver's seat and locate the knob or wheel below the left side of the steering wheel, which has a scale from 0 to 5—the smaller numbers can be easy to overlook. When turning it, lowering the setting reduces glare for oncoming drivers, while raising it improves nighttime visibility. Remember: if the vehicle is heavily loaded (e.g., with cargo), lower it to 3 or 4; when lightly loaded, return to 0 to avoid overly high beams, which can be unsafe. For brightness, the stock headlights don’t have a direct adjustment parameter—you’ll need to upgrade to LED or HID bulbs for increased illumination. Additionally, models with automatic headlight systems will adaptively adjust the height while driving. In manual mode, test the beam alignment against a wall during each maintenance check to ensure it’s centered and not misaligned. Regularly inspect the knob for smooth operation and clean it if dirty. This quick five-minute tweak significantly enhances driving safety.
