Friends must have experienced a situation when the vehicle's lights are not shining properly, right? Therefore, the importance of adjusting the light beam correctly is essential to prevent any unwanted incidents.

An incorrect direction of the lights is not only dangerous for oneself but can also be hazardous to others. An improper vehicle light beam can affect oneself, such as disturbing vision and comfort. Others driving in the opposite direction will also be disturbed by the incorrect light beam.

Tips for Adjusting the Light Beam for Mutual Safety

To adjust the improper light beam, you can do it yourself if you don't have time to go to the workshop for repairs. Immediately take the right action for your vehicle.

If you are confused about how to adjust the light beam correctly, we have a solution for you to adjust the light beam properly, especially for mutual safety.

1. Park the Vehicle on a Level Surface and Face it Toward a Wall

The first tip you can do is to park your vehicle on a level surface. Don't forget to face the car towards the wall and ensure the area is dimly lit so that the light beam is clearly visible.

Once your vehicle is parked correctly, adjust the distance from the vehicle to the wall to about 7 to 7.5 meters. Make sure each side of the vehicle has the same height.

2. Turn on the Vehicle Lights and Mark the Direction of the Light

After you have parked the vehicle correctly, the next step is to turn on the vehicle lights and observe the direction of the two lights in front of the car. Then measure the focal points on the right and left.

If you are confused about how to mark, you can do it using black tape that you can stick to the wall. This way, you can see whether the right and left lights have the same height or not.

3. Open the Hood

If after measuring the right and left light beams you find a difference, you can directly open the hood to manually adjust the light direction.

Usually, the adjustment in each car is different, but most have an adjustment located behind the front lights. To find where the adjustment is, you can look for it with the help of a flashlight. Don't forget to stay alert.

4. Adjust the Height of the Light Direction

After you find the adjustment under the hood, the next step is to adjust the height of the light direction. However, each car has a different method. Some do it using a screwdriver, while others use an L key or star key.

The adjustment has two parts: one for adjusting the height and the other for adjusting the left and right direction of the light. After that, you can determine the correct light direction.

For the light direction, it is recommended that it is parallel to the body of the car. Likewise, the height of the car should not be too high or too low. It must be adjusted correctly to achieve the right light beam.
