Baojun 510 headlight adjustment: There are adjustment screws at the back of the headlights to adjust the height of the light. The light beam is on the left side, and there are adjustment screws at the back of the headlight, one for adjusting the height and one for adjusting the left and right. Here are the steps for adjusting the headlights of Baojun 510: 1. Find a wall, ensure the ground is flat, and park the car about 10 meters away from the wall. 2. Measure the height from the ground to the center of the headlight and the distance between the two headlights. 3. Place a horizontal masking tape on the wall 0.1 meters lower than the headlight height, ensuring the tape is centered directly in front of the car. 4. Turn on the headlights. 5. Adjust the vertical adjustment screw until the headlight beam is centered on the tape on the wall. 6. Continue adjusting the vertical adjustment screw until the headlight beam is straight forward. To ensure the adjustment is correct, measure the height of the beam on the wall and the height of the headlight, ensuring both values are equal. 7. After adjustment, sit in the car to check if the desired effect is achieved. If satisfied, the headlight adjustment is complete.
I once adjusted the headlights of my Baojun 510 myself, which was after driving it for two or three years when I felt the lights were too low. I found a flat parking lot, parked the car, opened the hood, and located the adjustment screws behind the headlights. A regular screwdriver was enough to turn them. The key was to operate against a wall, with the car about 5 meters away, adjusting the center point of the light beam to roughly draw a line on the wall or align with the height of the car tires. The steps were simple: first, check that the bulbs were working, then slowly turn the screws to test the height, ensuring the lights didn’t dazzle oncoming traffic or were too low to see the road clearly. I saved about a hundred bucks in repair fees by doing it myself, but it required patience—if I turned the screws too much by mistake, I had to start over. Finally, I took it out for a night test drive to confirm everything was safe.
