How to Adjust the Left and Right of Car High Beams?
2 Answers
Method for adjusting the left and right of car high beams: When adjusting the high beams yourself, it is recommended to find a wall, park the car about 1 to 1.5 meters away from the wall, turn on the high beams, and adjust the left and right of the high beams using the adjustment knob. If there is no adjustment knob, it is advised to visit a professional repair shop for adjustment. Proper adjustment can provide better visibility while driving. High beams adjust the intensity of the light based on the distance of the filament. At their focal point, high beams emit light in parallel, which is more concentrated and brighter, allowing illumination of distant and high objects.
I adjusted my high beams myself, and the process was smoother than I imagined. The key is to find an empty parking lot or garage, park the car facing a wall at a distance of about 5 to 10 meters. Turn on the high beams to observe the position of the light spot. If it's too far to the left or right, you'll need to adjust the screws at the back of the headlights. Under the hood, on the headlight assembly, you'll find two small screws—one adjusts left and right, the other up and down. Use a Phillips screwdriver to slowly turn the screw that adjusts left and right. Turn it a little, then step out to check the change in the light pattern. Repeat this a few times until the light spot is centered and doesn't blind oncoming traffic. If you mess up, don't panic—take a photo to record the original position before making adjustments. It's better than driving at night and getting flashed. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands—safety first. After adjusting, test it by driving around a bit to see the effect. It's quite rewarding.
