How to Adjust the Lights on a Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the lights on a Buick Excelle is: 1. Enter the driver's compartment and locate the headlight height adjustment knob, which can adjust the headlight height in four levels; 2. For the highest headlight level, turn the knob to the 0 position; 3. For a relatively high level, turn the knob to the 1 position; 4. The 2 position offers a relatively lower headlight height, while the 3 position is the lowest height setting. Taking the Buick Excelle 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4468mm, width 1765mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2611mm, fuel tank capacity 40l, trunk capacity 491l, and curb weight 1070kg.
My Buick Excelle used to have headlights that didn’t shine far enough, but I found a practical solution: just prepare a Phillips screwdriver. At night, park the car about 7-8 meters away from a wall and mark the original headlight height on the wall with tape. Open the engine compartment and locate the white plastic adjustment knobs at the back of the headlights (there’s one above the low beam for adjusting vertical height and another on the side for adjusting horizontal width). Adjust while observing the changes in the light pattern on the wall, lowering the center point of the beam about 5 cm below the original mark. This way, driving at night won’t blind oncoming drivers while still illuminating the road ahead. Remember to balance both headlights separately. After adjusting, test-drive to check the effect—repeat the process if needed. The Excelle’s adjustment mechanism is quite sturdy, so avoid using excessive force. If you still can’t get it right, a quick 20-minute fix at a repair shop should do the trick.
