How to Adjust the Headlights of Porsche 718?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the headlights of Porsche 718 is as follows: 1. Drive the car to a relatively flat road surface, adjust the low beam points to coincide at 30 meters apart, and adjust the high beam points to be parallel to the ground; 2. Simultaneously use a wall to adjust the parallel state of the two high beam points; 3. Park the car about 7.5 meters away from the wall, ensuring that the vehicle is perpendicular to the wall and the ground is level; 4. Measure the height of the headlight center from the ground, and accurately measure the distance between the two headlights; 5. Place a piece of tape on the wall 10 cm lower than the headlight height, ensuring that the tape is positioned in the center directly in front of the vehicle; 6. Adjust the vertical adjustment screw until the headlight beam is centered on the tape on the wall; 7. Measure the height of the headlights and the beam on the wall, ensuring that both heights are consistent.
I remember adjusting the headlights on my Porsche 718 was actually quite simple, mainly done through the control buttons inside the car. There's a knob on the left side of the steering wheel or a setting option in the central control screen, usually in the lighting settings section, which includes the headlight height adjustment function. First, park the car on level ground, ensure the engine is running, then enter the settings menu and select headlight adjustment, where you can use the directional buttons to move the beam angle up or down. Avoid doing this on a slope, as the height won't be accurate. I often encounter the issue when the back seats are fully occupied, causing the front of the car to sink and the headlights to shine too far, so I lower them a bit to avoid dazzling others. Porsche's design is very user-friendly—just save the settings after adjustment, and they'll remain the same the next time you start the car. It's recommended to check during each maintenance, especially when seasonal changes affect the car's load, to avoid nighttime driving issues that could compromise safety. Overall, it takes just a few minutes to get it done, making it both hassle-free and reliable.
