What is the Standard for Headlight Adjustment?

[SanOlive]

The standard for headlight adjustment is that the headlight beams should be parallel to the ground. The method for adjusting headlights is as follows: 1. Park the car in a dark and open environment; 2. Turn on the low beams and adjust them until the beams converge at 30 meters. Headlights, also known as car front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve the following purposes: 1. Provide strong illumination to enhance visual contrast; 2. In environments with poor visibility such as rain or fog, they help other vehicles detect your car earlier. The usage methods for car lights are: 1. Turn on the width indicator lights during rainy days or when it's dark; 2. Use low beams on roads with street lighting; 3. Use high beams on roads without street lighting; 4. Turn on the turn signals in advance when the vehicle needs to make a turn.

When it comes to headlight adjustment standards, I must say it's quite a technical task. Having driven for 20 years, I always adjust them myself after changing bulbs - improper alignment can blind oncoming drivers, which is extremely dangerous. The standard requires the headlight beam's vertical height to fall below ground level at 10-15 meters in front of the vehicle, ensuring low beams don't shine directly into other drivers' eyes. The specific method involves finding level ground and a wall, parking the car a few meters away, marking center points and height lines, then adjusting the screws inside the car or under the hood to keep the light within marked lines. For LED or adaptive headlights, diagnostic tools may be required. Remember to check for bulb aging during adjustment to avoid uneven lighting. These standards aren't just about accident prevention - they also relate to energy efficiency, as excessive brightness wastes power. I recommend consulting your vehicle manual before DIY attempts, or borrowing professional calibration tools from repair shops.

Since childhood, my dad taught me that headlight adjustment is no trivial matter. The standard is to align the beam at the correct angle to avoid being cursed as a 'high-beam jerk' by other drivers at night. Simply put, it means directing the light onto the road, not the sky. The exact position varies by car, but generally, the low beam should illuminate about 10 meters ahead with its lower edge no more than one meter above the ground. Adjustment is typically done by turning screws or knobs while facing a wall – older cars require manual adjustment, while newer models may have automatic features but still need fine-tuning. Improper adjustment can lead to accidents and even traffic fines. Also, don’t forget to check the cleanliness of the headlights during adjustment, as dirty covers can scatter the light.

As an ordinary car owner, I learned the headlight adjustment standards at the 4S dealership: the light beam should be straight and downward, with the low beam height not exceeding the position of the front license plate to ensure it doesn't disturb others during night driving. The adjustment is quite simple; most cars have a knob near the steering wheel or under the hood, and turning it a few times allows you to test the light. The core of the standard is safety, so after adjustment, take a short test drive to check the effect.
