How to Adjust the Headlight Height on the Leiling?
3 Answers
Leiling headlight height adjustment method is: 1. Open the hood; 2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to rotate the headlight adjustment gear. Headlights refer to the lamps on the vehicle, which are tools for road illumination during night driving and also serve as signaling devices for various vehicle movements. The Leiling is a compact sedan under GAC Toyota. Taking the 2021 Leiling Progressive Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4640mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 185Nm, featuring MacPherson independent front suspension and E-type multi-link independent rear suspension.
Oh, adjusting the height of the Leven's headlights, I discovered this by driving a friend's car. Usually, there's an adjustment knob inside the car, located on the light control lever to the left of the steering wheel or near the dashboard. Gently rotating it can raise or lower the beam. If the car is heavily loaded, the headlight beam tends to be too low, so you need to adjust it higher to illuminate the road properly. When the car is empty, don't set it too high to avoid blinding others. I usually test the adjustment at night in an empty space, aiming at a wall to set the height and distance, ensuring both lights are roughly parallel to the ground. If you can't find the knob, you might need to adjust it manually. Open the hood, and you'll find small white screws at the back of the headlights. Use a Phillips screwdriver to gently turn them, but remember to turn off the engine first to avoid burns. Regularly adjusting the headlights is crucial, especially before long trips—safety first, to prevent accidents due to poor visibility from low beams. Also, remember that the user manual specifies different adjustment methods for various Leven model years. For example, my older model requires manual adjustment, while newer ones come with automatic adjustment features.
Hey, I'm quite into tinkering with cars. I've adjusted the headlight height on my Levin several times, and there are basically two methods: First, there's a small dial in the cabin, usually located on the lower left side of the steering wheel or near the instrument panel. Turning it instantly changes the beam angle. Second, if there's no dial, open the hood and locate the adjustment screws at the back of the headlight assembly—one on each side for vertical and horizontal adjustments. Use a screwdriver to turn them slowly. Park on level ground facing a wall; the center of the beam should be about 0.5 to 0.7 meters above the ground. I recommend adjusting after changing bulbs too, as new bulbs might not sit perfectly. Long-term misalignment can impair visibility or even lead to fines—too high and you risk glare violations. Another tip: Adjusting on rainy days is better since the wall reflection is clearer. After adjusting, take a short drive to ensure the height is right and doesn't blind oncoming traffic. Safe driving is what really matters.
