| Can any one help me to raise the headlight beam beyond what is possible by the adjustment knob in the cabin? At the highest level of the knob i felt the low beam was not really close to the distance that was covered by my earlier car (WagonR). Do others feel the same way or this is normal for this car? At high beam i felt the coverage was good, but since it causes inconveniance and is not legal to be used in city, better to adjust the low beam to cover alittle more distance. I am using a 90 /100 halogen. | |

| An increase in the tyre pressure over and above what is recommended seems to improve the distance covered by the light beam. Haven't checked if there are screws on the headlight assembly which can be adjusted manually. | |

| You are thinking it is different, because of the seating position of the cars. if you find it uncomfortable, get it checked with the service station guys. just make sure the lower beam is low enough, so that is doesn't blind oncoming traffic. | |

| Finally got the adjustments fixed, matter of fact the service advisor at the Sireesh Hebbal did in 5 mins flat. The adjustments are accessible through squarish cut on the lamp housing. | |

| high beams are excellent and the adjustment knob is extremely useful specially when car is loaded at rear as compared to when it is not.
One can change lamp settings using the screws. however i don't think one can align the lamps to function as a pair upto its utmost precision. doubtful on whether the service guys do this or otherwise. | |

| Left Hand Headlight Vertical Adjustment screw thread stripped: hence Left hand Headlight pointing at the road 10 ft in front of vehicle
Replacement seems soooooo uncalled for (and so expensive) .... will try to jury rig something myself as a temporary fix. | |
