Manual headlight adjustment - 2011 Polo

Post by blaze591 »

Hi, following a bump my daughter's Polo has had some repair work including a new offside headlamp. The dipped beam is now a lot higher than the nearside light, is definitely not acceptable, but I cannot seem to find a method of adjusting the height of the beam. There is a threaded 4mm bolt on the rear of the main beam unit which seems to adjust the main beam only, but I can't obviously see anything to align the dipped beam. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in anticipation!

Most vag group cars have two adjusters on the rear of the head lamps,one for up/down ,one for left/right adjustment
From memory they both are adjusted via a 6mm hex tool , the up/down will be the most visible.

All Adjusters are in white, two for dip beam only one for full beam.
