The location of the headlight adjustment screws Nissan X-Trail

There are 2 screws on the back of each headlight to adjust the headlights. With their help, you can adjust the direction of the light beam in the horizontal  1 and vertical  2  planes. When adjusting, a Phillips screwdriver is inserted into the hole from above.

The halogen headlights are equipped with an electrically operated manual headlight range control. It allows you to change the direction of the light beam in the vertical plane from the passenger compartment in accordance with the change in vehicle loading.
