2 Answers
Tiguan L headlight height adjustment method: First, locate the headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the dashboard in the Volkswagen Tiguan L's cabin. The negative position is the lowest height setting, position 1 raises the headlight height by one level, position 2 provides a relatively higher light height, and position 3 is the highest setting. The Tiguan L is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen and features: 1. Exterior: The Tiguan L maintains a design similar to the overseas standard Tiguan model, with a clean and straightforward overall style. It includes additional chrome trim pieces compared to the standard wheelbase model, along with some changes to the C-pillar design; 2. Powertrain: The new model is equipped with either a 1.8T or 2.0T engine; 3. Dimensions: The vehicle measures 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm.
When I first got my Tiguan L, I also wondered how to adjust the headlight height—it’s actually quite simple. After starting the car, sit in the driver’s seat and locate the dashboard area on the left side of the steering wheel, near the door. There’s a rotary wheel or knob marked with a headlight icon or height symbols. Before driving at night, find a flat spot and rotate it up or down to see the beam move. Setting it higher works well in suburban areas, while lowering it in the city avoids dazzling cars ahead—safe and hassle-free. I make it a habit to check the height every quarter since road conditions vary; for example, rough roads might shift the alignment. Remember not to adjust while driving—wait until you’re parked to avoid accidents. Manual adjustment is rare in most models, but the Tiguan L typically uses this in-car control knob.
