How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the URV?
3 Answers
Stand directly in front of the headlight with your feet as close as possible to the headlight, observe the position of the high beam, and note it down. Then move vertically to the wall and mark the position of the light center based on your feet. Use a screwdriver to rotate the headlight's scale gear, ensuring the light center aligns with the marked position on the wall. The vertical distance should not exceed 10 centimeters. If there is no one else in the car while adjusting the headlights, you can slightly raise the light center, generally not exceeding 5 centimeters. If the light center does not move horizontally, don't worry. Continue turning the screwdriver firmly until the light center aligns with the marked position.
I've been driving for many years and adjusting headlight height is something I do quite often. In models like the URV, there's usually a knob on the side of the steering wheel or the lower left corner of the dashboard—just turn it to move the lights up or down. For instance, last time when my trunk was fully loaded and weighed down, the headlights were pointing too high. I quickly adjusted them lower to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. It's a simple DIY task: find a flat road at night, mark the beam position against a wall, and test by turning the knob a few times. No tools are needed, and it's not troublesome at all. Making it a habit to check headlight height can reduce accident risks and make night driving safer. The URV manual also details this process—it's good to browse through it occasionally.
As a DIY enthusiast, I always adjust my headlight height myself. The adjustment points for the URV are usually located on the headlight unit under the hood, just find two small screws and turn them with a screwdriver. First, turn off the lights and open the hood, then aim the headlights at a wall at night and note the high point of the beam. Slowly turn the screws to adjust—clockwise to lower the height and counterclockwise to raise it. Once adjusted, secure everything properly. Avoid setting them too high to prevent glare or fines, or too low to ensure good road visibility. After a few simple tries, you'll get the hang of it—saving money and time while learning more about your car. Vehicles like the URV have similar designs, making it a fun and rewarding DIY task.
