According to popular answers on Zhihu in the past 10 days, this move complies with the requirements of the national standard "GB4785" to avoid dazzling drivers in the opposite lane, and the right light needs to be shifted downward by 2%-3%.
2. Adjustment differences for different models:
| Vehicle type | Adjustment features |
|---|---|
| SUV/MPV | Additional inspection of height adjustment is required to prevent excessive exposure |
| Models with automatic leveling system | You need to turn off the function first and then adjust it manually |
? Road test verification is required after adjustment to avoid the illumination angle being too narrow;
? If the headlight assembly is damaged (such as water intrusion or lampshade aging), repair must be prioritized;
? About 35% of the cases of unqualified lights in annual inspections are due to excessive left and right deviations (data source: Vehicle Quality Network).
