How do i adjust the headlight beam on my Subaru Forester X MY06 Model

On each headlamp assembly, there will be either one or two plastic nuts that you can turn.

If you only have one nut on each, that will adjust the vertical aim of the headlights.

If you have two nuts on each, one will adjust the vertical and the other will adjust the horizontal.

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)

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.

Hello, here is the procedure for adjusting your headlamps. Hope this info helps...(subytech1)...
ADJUSTMENT



1.HEADLIGHT AIMING CAUTION: Turn off the light before adjusting the headlightaiming. If it is necessary to inspect the aiming, do not turn on thelamp for more than two minutes .

NOTE: Before checking the headlight beam level, be sure of the following:

• The area around the headlight does not have any scratch, damage or other type of deformation.
• Vehicle is parked on a level surface.
• The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
• Vehicle's fuel tank is full.
• Bounce the vehicle several times to normalize the suspension.
• Make certain that someone is seated in the driver's seat.

1. Cover the headlight that is not being adjusted with a cloth.
2. Turn the headlights on and then adjust the low beam while displaying the beam on the screen.

ALL headlights have a vertical and horizontal adjustment, but they are not always obvious. The 2006 is very similar to the 2005. On the top outer side there is long M8 shaft, which is the vertical adjustment. On the lower inner side, in a circular tube, is a rubber cover that hides the horizontal adjuster. Remove the rubber cover with long nose pliers and use a small M8 socket to adjust. The RHS adjustment requires the power steering reservoir to be unclipped and moved out of the way. See the image. The reservoir bracket is removed for clarity (and for cleaning).
