2004 V40 Headlight Adjustment


Recommended Posts

So I recently decided to fiddle around with my headlight adjustment after having trouble seeing at night. I was successful and am now close to the point where my headlights form a straight line. That being said, for some reason the adjuster screws (with white knobs) have VERY different amounts of thread exposed on left headlight vs right headlight... The left headlight is showing half as much thread as the left. 

Anyone have an explanation for that or similar experiences?

I never measured mine when I had adjusted them once, but the only thing I can think of is since they would come from the factory at different levels due to the light closest to oncoming traffic would be set different from the opposite side as to not blind oncoming cars.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, just seemed WAY off. I have them level now and haven't had anyone flash their highbeams at me yet B)
