How to Adjust the Lights on a Ford Focus?
2 Answers
Ford Focus light adjustment method: The light control area is located at the lower left side of the steering wheel. The three positions from left to right are: headlights off, small light mode (position light mode), and headlight mode. The small round dial in the middle can be pressed to pop out, and rotated to control the height of the headlight beam. The Ford Focus is a Class A family sedan with body dimensions of 4378mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height. The Ford Focus is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L EcoBoost and a 1.5L TiVCT, with all models meeting the China VI emission standards, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, combining powerful performance with fuel efficiency.
Adjusting Focus headlights is actually not difficult; you can do it yourself in half an hour. First, park near a dim wall at about 5 meters away, turn on the low beams, and observe the light pattern. Under the hood, behind the headlights, there are white plastic screws—use a Phillips screwdriver to slowly turn them. The outer screw adjusts the height, while the inner one adjusts the left-right alignment. Remember to check the wall as you adjust; the ideal setup is a straight, non-scattered beam with the main light spot center about 10 cm lower than the headlight center. After adjustment, be sure to test it on the road—lights set too high can dangerously blind oncoming drivers. By the way, for cars retrofitted with xenon lights, pay extra attention to the cutoff angle, or you might run into issues during annual inspections.
