How do you adjust the headlights on a 2002 VW Passat?

Answer 1

under the hood , behind the headlamp assembly, there are plastic adjusting screws, low beam lights are to be set at 20 degrees to the right , high beams are to set straight ahead, there are inexspensive head lamp adjustment tools available in your local parts stores that will make the aiming quite simple.

Answer 2

Head lamps are adjusted from above. Do the following:1. Open the hood2. Look on top by the head lamps you should see two service holes (one outer and one inner) where you will see a plastic adjustment screw which requires a hexagon wrench or a flathead screw driver that fits.Note the outer alignment screw is the hole located on top eg. driver side head lamps outter being the hole on the right side. inner being the alignment screw located in the hole on the left side of the driver side head lamp assembly.3. lateral adjust/ horizontal adust is the right side hole.(which way to turn I've forgotten try incremental trial and error til you determine which way is left and which way is moving the beam to the right)

4. vertical adjust is the adjustment screw located on the leftside of driver side headlamps assembly from above. turn counter clockwise to raise and clockwise to drop. its been awhile so I'm not quite sure .

5. passenger side lateral and vertical adjust is symetrical. remember outter hole from above is lateral adjust and inner hole to the right in this case for passenger side is vertical adjust.

Answer 3

Park your Grand Am 25 feet away from a closed garage door. Open the hood and turn the adjustment screws on the top of the headlight housing so that the center of the headlight beams overlap each other by 50 percent. Then, adjust the headlights so that the headlight beams are positioned at the bottom of the door where the door meets the ground

Answer 4

Crash it into a tree at 60mph. That should aim them both inwards.
