Daihatsu Charade Headlight Issue

[denish]

Help me for adjust the headlight beam. It is too little difference between low-beam & high-beam. Some oncoming car's drivers become annoyed when I drive at night times because low-beam also shown as high-beam.

Headlight high-beam indicator on meter panel works fine with switch.

My car model is daihatsu charade G100 & has the original headlight.

So can it be adjustment issue (out of alignment) or ‘headlight switch’ issue? If it is an adjustment issue, any idea how to do it by myself?

It is a great appreciation, if someone has detailed picture guides pls mail to [email protected]

Any help will be much appreciated

On the rear of the head lamp assembly, there should be two adjustment screws with indicators embossed on the plastic identifying which is which (x and y axis). Google for optimum headlamp adjustment height, and remember to read the instructions for right hand drive vehicles, not left.

In G100s, adjustment screws are on the front of the lamp, I think. If you have removed head lamps for any repair, there is a good chance of alignment to go out.

Headlight alignement is not a service that costs much. Recently I saw an ad saying N*l*ka Wheel Alignment is doing it at a 50% discounted rate, which was less than Rs.500/- as I remember.

Headlight alignment can easily be done at home, there's no need to waste one's resources on getting it done elsewhere. All you need is a screwdriver/spanner, level ground, and a 4ft wall.
