I’m trying to adjust the headlights on my 2023 Kia Soul because they’re shining too low. I couldn’t locate the adjusting screw. Has anyone figured out how to adjust them without taking any parts off?
You should be able to access the adjustment screws without removing any parts. They’re usually located on the back of the headlight assembly, near the top.

Thanks, I’ll check there when I have the car back.
Look for a small hole above the headlights—it’s usually where the adjustment screw is hidden. You’ll need a screwdriver to turn it.

I’ll look for that hole. Hopefully, it’s easy to adjust from there.
If you can’t find the screws, check the owner’s manual. It usually has diagrams showing exactly where the adjusters are.

I’ll go through the manual again and see if I missed anything. Thanks for the suggestion.
You might need a long screwdriver to reach the adjustment screws, depending on how the headlight assembly is designed.

Good tip, I’ll make sure to grab a longer screwdriver when I try again.
I had to adjust mine too. Once you find the screw, just turn it clockwise to raise the beam and counterclockwise to lower it.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I needed to know.
