How to Adjust the Unfocused Headlights of Baojun 510
2 Answers
Adjustment method for unfocused headlights of Baojun 510: Move the light cup degree back and forth, and adjust by observing the imaging effect reflected by the light cup. The main reason for unfocused headlights is that the bulb is too far from the light cup, and the luminous part of the bulb is not at the focus of the light cup. Baojun 510 is a small SUV launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling targeting young consumers. The vehicle offers an optional 10.25-inch large screen, which features a clear and smooth display with a feature-rich car networking system, further enhancing the user experience. In terms of power, Baojun 510 provides two powertrain combinations: 1.5L with CVT and 1.5L with 6MT.
I've been driving my Baojun 510 for nearly three years and also encountered the issue of unfocused headlights. After some troubleshooting, I found two main causes: either the bulb base is loose and not properly seated, or the reflector bowl has aged due to sun exposure. Adjusting it yourself is quite simple—open the engine compartment, locate the white plastic adjustment screw at the back of the headlight assembly, and use a Phillips screwdriver. Turning it clockwise will concentrate the light beam upward, while turning it counterclockwise will spread the light downward. Remember to adjust it at night against a wall for accuracy—position the car three meters away and adjust until the light cutoff aligns with the base of the wall. If the lights still don’t focus after adjustment, it’s likely due to the reflector bowl’s coating peeling off, in which case you’ll need to replace the entire headlight housing. As a side note, don’t adjust just one headlight—adjust both sides together for symmetry.
