How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the Bora?
2 Answers
The headlight height adjustment for the Bora is located on the left side of the center console. The headlight height knob has four adjustment levels: minus sign, 1, 2, and 3. The minus sign level is the lowest height setting. Level 1 is slightly higher than level 0, level 2 provides a relatively higher light beam with better visibility, and level 3 is the highest setting—please use it with caution. The height of the car's headlights directly affects the driver's visibility at night. Therefore, regularly checking and ensuring that both headlights are at the same height is beneficial for driving safety. The Bora is FAW-Volkswagen's first independently designed model, hailed as a new car that inherits and surpasses the classics.
Adjusting the headlight height on the Volkswagen Bora is actually quite simple. I've done it myself several times, mainly depending on your model year. For newer Bora models, there's usually a knob on the left side of the dashboard—just turn it to adjust the height. If there's no electric adjustment option, you'll need to open the hood and adjust it manually. Locate the screws behind the headlights and use a Phillips screwdriver to turn them slowly—clockwise to raise the beam and counterclockwise to lower it. Make sure to do this on level ground without heavy loads in the car, as this can affect the positioning. Test the adjustment at night to ensure the light shines at a reasonable distance without blinding oncoming traffic, as this is crucial for driving safety. If you're unsure, check the user manual or visit a 4S dealership—it won't take much time. Regularly keeping the lights clean and performing routine checks can minimize the need for adjustments, especially before long trips, to avoid poor visibility.
