Headlight adjustment (VW Golf 4)

Correct adjustment of headlights is of great importance for traffic safety. Precise adjustment is only possible with a special device.

When adjusting the headlights, the fog lights are also adjusted.



To adjust the headlights, screws are used, which can be accessed through the holes in the upper part of the headlight (A - horizontal plane, B - vertical plane, C - slope of 1.2%, i.e. 12 cm per 10 m distance).

When adjusting the headlights, the following conditions must be met:

• tire pressure must be within normal limits;
• only the driver should be in the car;
• the fuel in the fuel tank must be more than 90%;
• the car must stand on its wheels on a flat horizontal surface;
• before adjusting, it is necessary to rock the car body so that all suspension elements fall into place;
• set the headlight corrector to position 0;
• adjustment is made only for the low beam headlights. The inclination of the light flux of the headlights is 12 cm at a distance of 10 m, i.e. 1.2%.
