Title: Hyundai i30 CW (2009) light adjustment screws location
Post by: Da Tomato on November 25, 2022, 07:21:25

Hello, my mom has a 2009 Hyundai i30 CW and due to a small collision with a pillar she got the driver's side headlight pointing upwards (I think) and it doesn't light the road properly anymore (with both high and low beams).
Since I know that headlight adjustment is an easy DIY I want to ask you where are those adjustment screws located since I found we screws/bolts on/near the headlight assembly but I'm not sure if those are the adjustment screws since they're not labeled or anything.

I think my 2009 SLX does NOT have adjustment screws.

Have you checked the bodywork or light mountings to see if anything has been distorted in the knock.

As it may just be a case of pushing back into place.

Before changing anything, double-check that the bulb is seated properly in the headlight. The shock may have jarred it loose or popped the retaining spring out of position. When I took my car for annual inspection the headlight aim was wrong on one side, that tester had a quick look and fixed it, the bulb wasn't seated properly.
