How to Adjust the Headlight Height of Changan Honor

[OAdelyn]

Enter the driver's cabin and locate the headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the dashboard. Adjust according to the marked height levels on the knob. To set the headlights to the highest position, turn the knob to the "0" position. To lower the headlight height by one level, rotate the knob to the "1" position. The "2" position corresponds to a lower headlight height. For the lowest headlight height setting, turn the knob to the "3" position.

I remember the last time I drove my Changan Honor, the headlights always shone too close, making it hard to see the road clearly at night, which was quite dangerous. I found a flat surface, parked the car facing a wall, and opened the hood to see several small screws on the headlight frame. I grabbed a Phillips screwdriver and tried adjusting the left screw to raise the beam angle. At first, I over-adjusted it a bit, nearly blinding oncoming traffic, so I quickly lowered it slightly. After several adjustments, I finally got the beam to the right distance. If the lights are too close and not adjusted, driving on rural roads at night becomes dangerous as visibility is poor, increasing the risk of accidents. In short, be patient when adjusting—don’t rush to raise them too high at once. If you can’t manage it yourself, it’s safer to seek professional help. This method is just my personal experience and may not suit everyone.

As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I've found that adjusting the headlight beam distance involves simple mechanical structures. Under the hood, locate the vertical adjustment screw behind the headlight unit, which controls the height of the light beam; using standard tools like a socket wrench to turn the screw can change the angle. Lights being too close are usually due to loose screws or incorrect settings. When testing it myself, I first park the car on level ground about one meter from a wall to observe if the beam is at a reasonable height. If adjusting the screw doesn't improve things, it's necessary to check if the bulb or wiring has aged, to avoid wasting time; for safety, it's best to test drive after adjustment to confirm the effect. If it still doesn't feel right, it's time to visit a repair shop.

If the headlights of the Changan Honor are shining too close, I find it quite convenient to adjust them myself. First, park the car facing a wall, open the hood, and locate the small adjustment screw at the back of the headlight. A regular screwdriver will do the job; turn the screw to the right to raise the beam and to the left to lower it. Make small adjustments at a time while observing the beam position on the wall until it no longer feels too close. Be careful not to adjust it too high to avoid glare. Doing it yourself saves money and hassle.
