How to adjust the headlights of the Baojun 730?
4 Answers
Open the car door and you can see the headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the dashboard. Turning the knob to the 0 position sets the headlights to the lowest height. Adjusting the knob to the 1 position raises the headlights slightly higher. Setting the knob to the 2 position increases the headlight height further, while the 3 position is the highest setting. Below is an introduction to car lighting: 1. Both high and low beams are used to illuminate the road ahead. The difference is that one illuminates a shorter distance while the other covers a longer range. Typically, low beams illuminate a distance of about 30-40 meters with a coverage of approximately 160°, whereas high beams are more focused, brighter, and can reach higher and farther distances. The actual illumination distance may vary depending on the headlight material. 2. Pushing the switch toward the engine compartment keeps the high beams on continuously. Pulling it back one position turns off the high beams and reverts to low beams. Pushing the switch one more position toward the driver activates temporary high beam flashing, and releasing the switch automatically returns it to the low beam position.
I often adjust the headlights on my Baojun 730 myself, and find the operation quite simple. First, park on a flat straight road, 5-8 meters away from a wall, turn on the headlight switch and mark the top position of the beam on the wall. Then open the engine hood, locate the vertical and horizontal adjustment screws behind the headlight—the vertical screw controls the height, while the horizontal screw adjusts the left-right angle. Use a Phillips screwdriver to gently turn the screws, only half a turn at a time to observe the effect. The beam should be adjusted slightly lower to avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles and ensure driving safety. After adjustment, close the hood and take a drive to test if the visibility is clear. Remember not to apply too much force to prevent damaging the screws or the headlight socket. The whole process takes about 20 minutes, and don’t forget to wear gloves to protect your hands from scratches.
As a seasoned driver, I have experience adjusting the headlights of the Baojun 730: Choose a flat parking spot, face a wall 6 meters away, and mark the light position. Under the hood, there are two adjustment screws—the vertical screw adjusts the beam height (turn up to raise, down to lower), and the horizontal screw adjusts the beam width (left or right). When adjusting, ensure the beam center is slightly below the bulb height to avoid glare on highways at night. A regular screwdriver works fine—avoid excessive force to prevent damage. After adjustment, test-drive to check light distribution; if uneven, fine-tune again. It's recommended to inspect headlight alignment annually to prevent issues.
Adjusting the Baojun 730 headlights is quick. Park on level ground facing a wall 5 meters away, turn on the lights to mark the beam. Open the hood, locate the screws to adjust height and width, use a screwdriver to turn the screws for fine-tuning while observing the changes in the light points on the wall. Tilt the beam slightly downward to prevent glare. Close the hood, test the light alignment, and take a short test drive to ensure everything is okay. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
