Skoda Octavia headlight adjustment

Note: It is
necessary to prepare the car and the platform (stand) for adjustment. Your Octavia should stand on a flat horizontal surface and in front of it at a distance of 3 (three) meters there should be a wall (stand, screen) that is perpendicular to the ground. Octavia must have the required tire pressure, the headlight range control must be in the correct position!

1. You need to make a markup on the screen (wall, gate). This is shown in great detail in the attached photo. The longitudinal symmetry of the vehicle must match the 0 (zero) line. Draw lines 1 and 2, respecting the indicated (1769 mm) distance between them.

2. Rock the Octavia to the right and left so that the springs and shock absorbers take their position, then measure the height h from the floor (asphalt, concrete) to the center of the headlights and transfer it to the stand, this will be line 3 (three). Departing from it down 35 millimeters, we draw line 4.

Warning:
Lines 1 and 2 must be strictly vertical, and 3 and 4 horizontal, only in this way you can correctly adjust the headlights.

3. Turn on the dipped beam and look at the stand. With the correct adjustment of the headlights on the Skoda Octavia, the upper boundary of the light beam should pass along line 4, and the vertical lines 1 and 2 should pass clearly through points E1 and E2, which are at the intersection of horizontal and angled lines (sections) of light beams (spots) . If something does not match for you, we proceed to the adjustment.

4. Open the hood and in front on the rim of the headlight, we see two adjusting screws specifically  for the low beam lamp.  Screw No. 1 will affect the vertical position of the light beam (up-down), and No. 2 on the horizontal (left-right). First, set the vertical position of the beam of light, then move it in the right direction until it coincides with point E1 or E2 (depending on which headlight you are adjusting).
