What should I do if the car headlights shine too close? Brother Miao will teach you how to adjust it

A friend asked Brother Miao that the angle of his car's lights was wrong. The lights, especially the low beam lights, felt so close. Moreover, the adjustment switch inside had already been adjusted and could no longer be adjusted. Brother Miao will teach you today how to manually adjust the lights ourselves.

Adjust button position

First of all, some cars can be adjusted electronically, and the adjustment button is usually behind the steering wheel, in the lower left corner; some cars do not have this button and require you to adjust it manually. Of course, you have this button.

Because of this light on some cars, if it has been repaired and bumped during installation, the light has been offset, and the same button cannot be adjusted, then the headlight needs to be adjusted manually.

The process of manually adjusting the headlight angle

Now Brother Miao will give you a demonstration. First open the hood, and then you have to see your headlights; then face your car to a white wall. It is not possible to adjust the light too much during the day, especially in places with relatively dark light. It's an underground garage, and it's easier to adjust to a white wall.

After opening it, find your headlight. At the end of the headlight, you will see a gear-like thing, and there is a small hole next to it, which you can stick it in.

It is usually adapted to a Phillips screwdriver. You can use a longer Phillips screwdriver. Once it is stuck in, it will be easier to handle. You can then twist it left and right. When you twist it left or right, its light will start to change.

After I twisted it for a while, the tangent line of the light jumped from the lower one to this one. Don't look at this one, the distance up is probably less than 10 centimeters, because now my car is far away from the volume. The distance between the gates is only two meters.

If you hit it as if you were sitting in your car, then the light would have been raised a lot.

If you have a lens, adjust it to the middle.

So you can use this method to move your lights up and down.

Of course, my car, because its lighting is relatively simple, has only one manual adjustment switch.

But now we have many cars, especially those with lenses, which have two such switches. In addition to an up and down adjustment switch, there is also a left and right adjustment switch. Similarly, there is also an interface that can be turned with a screwdriver.

After you poke it in from the interface, if you turn it clockwise, it will move toward the middle, if you turn it counterclockwise, the light will move toward the outside.

Because of the car with lenses, if you diffuse the lights on both sides too much, a dark area will appear in the middle.

So at this time, you need to move the light a little toward the middle. This is the same adjustment method.

But when adjusting, you must pay attention. Basically, for many cars, the lights and tangent lines on the driver's side will be slightly lower.

Then the tangent line on the right is a little higher. This is not a problem. This is designed this way intentionally, because it will take into account the impact of passing cars on the direction of oncoming cars. Therefore, the tangent line on the left is generally designed to be a little lower. Click.

So when you are adjusting, don't deliberately adjust the tangent line on the left to be very high. Under normal circumstances, there is such an inclination, so that you are comfortable and others are comfortable.

Don't pursue a very flat adjustment, which will cause the light on your left to go off line. If you adjust it too high, it will cause interference to oncoming cars when you meet another car. Even if you are driving low beam, people will think you are driving high beam. If people keep flashing your lights, you will not be safe, nor will others.

Summarize

I believe that through Brother Miao’s live demonstration just now, this operation is not difficult. You can basically do it at a glance. You don’t need to go to a car repair place, you can do it yourself.
