How to Adjust the Headlight Height of a Golf?
2 Answers
The headlight height adjustment switch for the Golf is located next to the lighting switch assembly on the left side of the steering wheel, and the headlight height can be adjusted via a scroll wheel. Below is an introduction to the Golf model: 1. Model: The Golf is a classic hatchback and compact family car. 2. Exterior: The car's ergonomic design and comfort features have been meticulously crafted to make all functions more user-friendly. The comprehensive comfort and humanized care provide users with a luxury car-like driving experience. 3. Configuration: It incorporates many features and design standards typically found in higher-end models, such as a multi-function electric sunroof, a three-spoke genuine leather multi-function steering wheel, and advanced noise-reduction silent design technology.
Adjusting the headlight height on a Golf is actually quite simple, with two methods: in-car electric adjustment and manual adjustment under the hood. Electric adjustment is the most convenient—there's a scroll wheel button labeled from 0 to 5 under the dashboard on the left side of the driver's seat. Setting 0 positions the lights at their highest, suitable for full load or uphill driving, while setting 5 keeps them lowest to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic. For manual adjustment, you'll need tools: open the engine hood and locate the white hex screw marked with up/down arrows on the back of the headlight. Use a 4mm wrench to turn counterclockwise to raise the beam or clockwise to lower it. It's best to do this at night facing a flat wall, with the car 5 meters away, ensuring the light cutoff line aligns with the height of the tire center. Remember to reset to the default setting before adjusting. Button locations may vary by Golf model year—if you can't find it, check the manual's diagrams.
