Paano adjust Altis headlights?

[Picard]

Hey tsikoteers! Tanung ko lang kung paano i-adjust yung headlights ng Corolla Altis (2006)? Masyado kasing mababa. Pinaadjust ko sa Toyota nung check up niya kaso parang ganun din naman mababa pa rin.

What do mean by "adjust" the headlight? Adjust the aim of light beam? Or adjust the headlight housing itself?

Para sigurado, next time you have things done at Toyota, dapat batayin mo personally para walang palya on their part. Kasi kung hindi bantayin, kahit ano-ano lang ang ginagawa nila. Puro palusot lang ang Toyota, even their company owned dealers (Bicutan and Makati)

Oo alam ko yung ganyang style ng Toyota. Toyota Quezon Ave ako ngpaservice. Kaso may klase kasi ako kaya hindi ko nabantayan and first 1000km nman e kaya no big deal.

Anyway, gusto ko i-adjust yung aim ng light beam. Pano ba to gawin?

Check the link above. The red HELLA box aids in adjusting the aim of the headlight. But what they are doing is adjusting the aim of the newly purchased HIDs replacing the stock halogens.

You can try other Toyota dealers.

may screws sa labas ng housing sa engine bay. adjust it using a philips screwdriver. clockwise lifts the aim, and vice versa.

I attached a pic of the right headlight. Eto po ba yon? wala kasi akong makitang screws e. although may tatlong screw yung pabilog na socket ng bulb.

Wala ka bang mas malayong shot? The adjuster usually sits on top of the headlamp housing. Parang ordinary screw lang pero may imprint dun sa housing na U-D at L-R.

Naalala ko tuloy a few years ago napansin ko mataas masyado aim ng headlight ng Pajero ko. Dinala ko sa isang talyer sa shaw and they tried to align the headlight pero di nila makuha. Loose thread na daw kaya kailangan palitan na yung buong assembly. They charged me P300.00 for the service fee kahit hindi naayos.

Dinala ko later sa CATS ortigas and they used an equipment to align them it and sandali lang ok na. Ang when I asked how much sabi nung supervisor ok lang, no charge na.

Ito mas malayo. hehe nakita ko na DU / RL daw. Left headlight pala ito kasi ito lang nman kailangan ko iadjust. Mejo nalito lang ako kasi hindi ito screw. Kailangan ko gumamit ng wrench.

Gumitna ka pa ng konti. hehehe. Wala na bang screws dun? Sorry, hindi pa ko nag-adjust ng sa Altis. Pakita ko yung sa Pajero sa iyo. Sandali lang...

Rightside headlamp of the Montero:

Closer view. The R-L is seen on the left side while the D-U is seen on the extreme right (almost out of frame). Halos katabi lang ng mga ito yung adjustment screws. You need only look from directly above to see them.

Sige salamat ha. try ko myang gabi pero kakalikutin ko na ngayon. hehe!

Key is to look through the metal brace that holds the light housing. May mga butas yon minsan makikita mo may + screw or gear that you can turn with a screwdriver. This is very common with Japanese vehicles.

Try looking at your manual, it should have it there.

Get a long screwdriver, or a really short one depending on the car's design. Look around, you'll see it. Small increments can make a big difference. Park your car 25 feet from the wall tapos on mo yung lights then adjust ka. From there make them level.

A trick to get better lighting is to turn the LEFT headlamp a bit more to face the LEFT. That way yung liwanag nilang dalawa don't completely overlap, but will have more illumination to the side (to the island/median). Very useful at night pag madilim kalye.

Hmmmm..mejo crowded kasi yung headlights area mahirap silipin sa likod. Ibang iba din dun sa pinakita ni OTEP. i tried yung may DU/RL kaso mukang hindi yun ang adjuster walang nangyari e.
