How to Adjust Ford Fiesta Headlamps

**nansky20** · June 6th, 2011 10:50 PM

Hi Sirs, pano i-adjust ang headlighs ng FoFi?
Just got both my headlamps replaced last saturday kasi may stain sa loob due to moisture. Anyway, nung pinalitan na hindi ko na nacheck yung allingment nya until gumabi lang. Sobrang baba ng left headlamp so medyo hirap magdrive sa gabi. Gusto ko sana ako na mismo magadjust since saturdays lang ako pwede magpaschedule sa casa dahil sa work. Help please. Thanks

The alignment of the beam is dependent on the structural frame itself with the help of the bumper.

Please check if the housing is sitting flush where it is bolted onto the frame.

and

Check if the bulbs are not misaligned compared with the right one. The bulb must be at the focus of the reflector to work properly.

If they are both OK, then your headlamp is defective and you cannot correct this yourself.

Also double check your observation by facing a plain wall with the low beams on. Dapat pantay ang linya nila like this

Kung pantay, mis-diagnose ka.

There is an allen key adjuster at the back of the light to adjust for height.

SIr Viva, I already tried your suggestion. The screws were ok and I think pantay din naman yung line pag nakatutok and malapit sa wall(like in your photo), pero pag na sa road na, talagang malayo ang diff. ng left sa right lamp.

Anyway, I'll try what sir kevo said and see how it goes. Thank you sirs.

Result

I too adjusted my lights first few days of owning my fofi.
I found the factory setting to be far too low.

Yes Sir. Thanks ulit. I also adjusted both lights higher na din kasi nga mejo mababa nga

Btw, for the others who do not have an allen key, you can also adjust it by using a screw driver
