How to Adjust Headlight Projectors

Headlight projectors on automobiles that are equipped with them don't usually need to be adjusted. However, there is usually a vertical adjustment screw available on the top of the headlight housing so that you can make adjustments to the height, if need be. These adjustment screws provide limited adjustment ability, but it can help you provide maximum visibility on the road, while minimizing the chances of blinding oncoming vehicles.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Park your vehicle 15 feet away from a flat wall or surface that you can shine your headlights onto.

2. Turn on the headlights.

3. Turn the adjustment screw on the top of the headlights to adjust the headlights up or down. The light beam should be pointing toward the bottom half of the wall or flat surface to avoid blinding oncoming vehicles.
