How to adjust the headlight height of BYD F3?
3 Answers
BYD F3 headlight height can be adjusted through the headlight adjustment knob. Here are the steps: 1. First, park the car 7.6 meters away from a wall and project the headlights onto the wall. Adjust the light projection position in real-time based on the shadow on the wall. 2. Turn the gear near the center position counterclockwise, and the headlight will gradually lower. Turning it in the opposite direction will raise the headlight. 3. Use the height of the other headlight as a reference to clearly see the adjustment of the headlight height. Adjust the center of both headlight beams to the horizontal line on the wall to complete the adjustment.
I just drove a BYD F3, and adjusting the headlight height is simple but crucial. First, open the hood and locate the headlight unit near the battery. There's a height adjustment screw behind each light, which can be adjusted with a Phillips screwdriver. The direction to turn for raising or lowering depends on the markings—clockwise to raise and counterclockwise to lower. I recommend doing this at night on level ground, with the car parked 5 meters from a wall, ensuring the light beam stays within the marked lines to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. Also, check for any loose or aging components to prevent future issues. For safety, it's best to have two people—one to adjust while the other observes with the lights on. After adjustment, test drive a few hundred meters to ensure everything works properly.
I've adjusted the headlight height on my BYD F3 several times. First, open the hood and locate the adjustment screw at the back of the headlight assembly, then turn it with a regular Phillips screwdriver. Turning clockwise increases the beam height, but don't overdo it to avoid blinding others; counterclockwise lowers it for safer driving. Test it at night in an open area, being careful not to touch hot components. The BYD F3 is quite easy to adjust—just ten minutes' work, saving a trip to the repair shop. Remember to regularly check for light misalignment, as improper height can reduce visibility in rain or fog, affecting driving safety. Always ensure the engine is off before adjusting to prevent battery drain.
