How to adjust the high beam of Elantra?
3 Answers
The method to adjust the high beam of Elantra is: Turn on the high beam of Elantra, and use a hexagon socket to adjust the height and left-right screws of the high beam. Elantra is equipped with two types of engines, 1.4T and 1.6L. The 1.4T version is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.6L powertrain is matched with a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. In terms of appearance, Elantra adopts Hyundai's family-style design, featuring a hexagonal grille with sharp headlight design. In terms of body size, Elantra has a length, width, and height of 4610mm, 1800mm, and 1450mm respectively.
As an experienced Elantra driver, adjusting the high beams is actually quite simple. See that lever on the left side of the steering wheel? Push it forward to turn on the high beams, and a blue indicator will appear on the dashboard. To turn them off, just pull it back toward you. When parking, it's best to face a wall about 5 meters away. After turning on the lights, use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the small white gear above the headlight. Turn left to raise the beam and right to lower it, aiming for about 70 cm above the ground. Don't forget to test it on the road afterward and make minor adjustments if needed.
With over a decade of experience repairing Hyundai vehicles, I'm very familiar with adjusting the headlights on the Elantra. Open the hood and locate the adjustment holes behind the headlights, usually requiring a hex key to access. Turning clockwise raises the beam, while counterclockwise lowers it. The key is to avoid shining directly into oncoming drivers' eyes - the standard is having the light's center point below the height of the rearview mirror on a vehicle 30 meters away. Remember not to have too much weight in the car, as excessive cargo in the trunk can affect the angle. After adjusting the high beams, always check if the low beam cutoff line meets specifications.
