When a vehicle is driving at night, if the lights are not focused, it will seriously affect the effect of the lighting system. So what’s the solution to the problem that headlights don’t focus?
Some vehicles are equipped with an automatic adjustment function that can automatically adjust the height of the headlights according to the environment. But generally speaking, the symptom is not the root cause, so it can be done via the adjustment buttons inside the headlight. Here are some ways to adjust your car's lighting system, which don't require special equipment and instruments, but can ensure the correct direction of the light. These methods are simple and suitable for most vehicles. SHINESELL ATUOPARTS reminds car owners to prepare: tape measure, sealant, Phillips screws and hexagonal socket.
First, find a dark place with a horizontal floor and vertical white walls (underground parking lots work well). Of course, if there is no white wall, it doesn't matter, as long as it is an empty place. After finding the position, make sure the front of the vehicle faces the wall about 5 to 6 meters away. Find the position on the wall that corresponds to the center line of the front of the car, which is the center point of the front logo. Use a pen to draw a vertical line at this location. This can mark the centerline of the front of the car and provide reference and guidance during subsequent adjustments.
How to adjust car headlights: On the wall, draw two horizontal lines, that is, the height from the center of the headlights to the ground, and the other one is about 5 cm lower than the height above.
Based on the distance between the low beam and high beam of the vehicle's headlights and the front centerline, the measurements are made on the centerline of the wall. Then, on the lower horizontal line, mark the position of the low beam headlights with short vertical lines, and on the higher horizontal line, mark the position of the high beam headlights. With such markings, four cross positions will be formed on the wall, and we can clearly find the position of the vehicle headlights themselves on the wall. This makes it easier to adjust.
Take the adjustment of the vehicle's low beam headlights as an example: before adjustment, turn on the low beam headlights, then project the light and dark dividing line on the wall, and use a cross screwdriver to adjust the height adjustment screw of the vehicle's low beam headlights. Adjust by turning the screw so that the center turning point of the dividing line of the low beam is aligned with the low beam mark on the wall. When making adjustments, adjust the low beams on the left and right sides separately. When adjusting the low beam on one side, the lampshade on the other side should be covered to avoid interfering with the accuracy of the adjustment. Through such adjustments, we can ensure that the vehicle's low beam illuminates in the correct direction and can provide clear lighting effects.
High beam adjustment
Turn on the high beam, and also use the inner hexagonal sleeve to adjust the height of the high beam and the left and right adjustment screws. First, adjust the tilt angle of the car lights. Find a flat place and park the vehicle 5 meters away from the wall (it is best to park near a tiled exterior wall, so you can easily measure in tiles and save yourself the trouble). The height of the center point of the headlight shade minus 5 cm from the ground is the center of the brightest area on the wall illuminated by the high beam. Make sure that the center point of the brightest area on the wall when you adjust the high beam coincides with the above position. If the bright spot on the wall is too far away from the vehicle, the tilt angle of the light can be adjusted appropriately. This adjustment allows the vehicle's lights to more accurately illuminate the road ahead, providing better visibility.
Then adjust the left and right: use a marker to draw a vertical bisector on the front and rear windshields, find a flat place, and be about 5 meters away from the wall. Then, turn on your high beams and stand behind the vehicle, looking through both windshields at the lights on the wall. Find the two brightest areas on the wall and align the center between them with two vertical lines. Keep the distance between the center points of the two brightest areas on the wall equal to the distance between the center points of the two large light shades. This adjustment allows the vehicle's lights to better illuminate the road and provide better visibility.
Adjustment notes:
Tool selection: Select the correct tool for adjustment according to the car model.
Data reference: According to the position of the standard crosshatch, it can be used as a reference to adjust the position of the headlights to ensure that the lighting effect meets expectations.
Debugging environment: It is recommended to debug in an appropriate environment such as an open area or at night for better observation and adjustment.
Keep it stable: After the adjustment is completed, make sure the headlight is firmly fixed to avoid looseness or shaking.
Through correct debugging, car owners can effectively improve the safety and comfort of night driving. If the car owner cannot operate it by himself, SHINESELL AUTO recommends going to a professional car repair shop for adjustment.
