How To Adjust The Polo Sedan Headlights

any Polo Sedan owner knowing how to adjust the headlights manualy?

found that too low after set to 1.

Pop the bonnet and adjust at the headlights themselves.

u need to have the correct tools tho....

please check what kind of screws is used by the headlights first....

just set the light to ' - ' setting. no 1 is too low. no need to touch anything.

dear all sifu,

can further englignten?

1. special screws/tools, what screws/tools is that?
2. open the bonnet and adjust at the headlights themselves, how to do it? where to start?

this is a rough reference on how u can adjust the headlight manually...


depending on the type of screw used, your regular flat head or philips screw driver will not be able to fit....

thank you, bro.

my is a little bit difference, I try to upload the photo, but size to big, let me find the way to reduce the size first.

Hi KCNG
here the photo taken of the Polo Sedan dirver side headlight, (position is inforn and facing the driver site).

1. I am not sure is A, B or C, but I do believed is either A or B, right?
2. I am not sure it turn ClockWise for beam up or beam down.
3. were it be spoil if turn too much.
4. waht others thing need to take precaution too.

thank in advance.

dun worry, when u turn to full lock, u cant turn it anymore...
but of course u dont use super strength to force it to go more la... might spoil the mechanism...

what u can do is just carefully turn/adjust those place that u circled...
to know what each of those does (i dont have a clue on which is beam up or beam down or beam sideways), u need to figure it out yourself..

u can follow this step...
- find a dark place (if possible with a wall) and then aim your car headlights against the wall.
something like this


- then use something to cover one headlamp so that u only have one headlamp shining against the wall...
- proceed to figure out which screw does what...
- once u figured it out, u can then use this to adjust the light spread accordingly..

remember, dont set it too high or u will end up glaring on coming traffic...

P/S -
before u begin, make sure that the light height adjustment in your car is set to the highest (position 0/- instead of 3). If u did not do this, u will end up having your light shooting towards the moon

thank you bro,

the only issue is only identify A, B or C, the rest shouldn't have problem.
I did Myvi and Sentra before. but this Polo Sedan is too low, the car number plate infront can see at all, need to adjust,

btw thank you so muc for sharing.
