Full Beam Headlight Adjustment

Post by Andrew_H »

Good evening, Is it possible to adjust the full beam headlight height on a 2008 Polo? The dipped headlights are fine but full beam misses the road and lights up the leaves on tress!

They are called HIGH beams, your LOW beams light up the road.
They should light up where your LOW beams end.
AFAIK you can only adjust the low beams in height and width.

Maybe there is another "trick" to lower them

As previous reply you can adjust the head lamps up/down left/right but both low and high lamps adjust together in that lamp ,so you set the low beams correctly then the high beams should be fine,
that said check the high beam bulb fitment as this can affect the beam patterns if not fitted correctly.
ive seen aftermarket lamp units with very poor high beam aim even with the lows set correctly but you only set the lamp on low beam anyways
