How to Adjust the Headlights of Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
To adjust the headlights of the Nissan Sylphy, turn the round protruding knob marked with 0 to 3 located at the lower left corner of the steering wheel in the cockpit. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 510 liters, and a curb weight of 1188kg. The 2021 Sylphy features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122ps, a maximum power of 90kw, and a maximum torque of 155nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Adjusting the headlights of the Nissan Sylphy is actually quite simple. Having driven this car for several years, I've adjusted them myself a few times. The main method involves using the adjustment screws under the hood: first, open the engine cover, locate the area behind the headlights where there are usually two screws (vertical and horizontal), and slowly rotate them with a suitable screwdriver. It's best to do the adjustment at night, parking the car on level ground and aligning the light projection on a wall to test the height—avoid setting it too high to prevent blinding oncoming drivers. Manual-type Sylphys are generally adjusted this way, while the electric version can be adjusted directly via buttons inside the car. Regularly check for bulb aging or loose screws to ensure safety. If unsure, consult the user manual or visit a 4S store for a free adjustment—it's hassle-free. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your headlights, so don't overlook this small detail!
