Headlight Adjusting Screw Operation:how do i adjust volvo s80 headlights - 00452_headlight_adjusting_screws.jpgUsed to adjust headlight beams up or down and left or right, it's located above and to the side of light behind the headlight retainer

    I just said that the headlight beams can be adjusted up or down and left or right with the screws located behind the headlight retainer.

    I would park the car about 25 feet from a wall and adjust at night to make sure that they aim right.

SOURCE: 2003 volvo s60, how do i adjust headlights

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly, behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator support.

You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam (separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal adjustment screws as well

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same bulb, only do it for the lows)

For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall. If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.

For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

Where is the fuse for the low beam headlights?

There are 3 fuse boxes in a Volvo S80.

The fuses for the low beam headlights could be in either 3.

Refer to the website below, where it shows a 2012 Volvo S80, which should be similar to the 2008 model for dismantling the fuse box.

How to adjust power brake booster for 2002 volvo s 80

There is no adjustment to the rod between the brake rod and the booster on a S80. If you are having brake light problems the first place to look is in the trunk for a bad fuse in the rear electrical module behind the cover on the left side.
