Nice video, it helps. btw, I believe the automatic light adjustment shown in the video is something called auto headlight leveling, which turns headlights up and down based on your load. It is a basic function on most cars. AFS on the other hand is a more advanced feature for higher trims, which turns headlights left and right in conjunction with your steering input to light up corners. Manually adjusting headlights will not get intervened by auto leveling, which is only controlled by the sensor on lower control arm.
My car does indeed have AFS as the headlights move left to right above a certain speed when I turn the steering the wheel. I have it titled AFS since more than 80% of the people searching for it will search by that term since that is how Mazda has it marketed on the GT trim levels. Also, the way I adjusted my headlights is how Mazda says to adjust them per the FSM. The arm that controls this is in the rear on the driver side from the subframe to the LCA. Corksport makes an adjustable replacement, but why pay $50 for that when you can adjust it for free using the Mazda method outlined in the FSM?

Thanks dude! Worker for my Mazda 3 2020 Mexican edition. Those cabrones saved on every detail and made the lights adjustment manual. I really suffered in the nights since I like to sit real low.
I’m glad you can some better now! It definitely makes all the difference!
You can use a screw driver too. There are holes above the adjustment screws that you slip the screw driver through.
I used a screw driver the 1st time and its so much faster for me to use the ratchet wrench on the driver side and 8mm socket on the passenger side!
Damn, really good tutorial man ‼️
Thank you kind sir!
Thanks for the video! Passenger side clockwise to raise as well? I read on Mazda revolution people saying counter clockwise for the passenger side?
It seems from some comments I said it opposite of what I did 🙃
For the passenger side it’s counter clock wise with the 8mm socket. I just did it. Few nights ago I did clockwise and didn’t notice a difference initially till tonight and I went waaaay low 😅. Had to go counter clockwise for a while to get it higher to match the driver side
I have a 2019 Mazda3 Premium Hatchback with fully LED AFS headlights. Will manually adjusting them mess anything up at all, or am I good to go?
I am not sure if this procedure applies to yours 2019 as that’s considered to be the “4th” gen and I am not sure what changes they made.
HELP PLEASE! I try to turn the plastic screw with my 8 mm socket it fits well, for some reason when I try to turn the thing it wont and the light didn't move at all. I see that the screw has a cutting line in the head so yo can slide something like a flat head screwdriver but it seems easier to go with the ratchet or closed wrench.
My lights are really really down, it reach like 5 meters in front of the car, I need to move it up to avoid an accident.
If the car is running, it will fight you to adjust. The car has to be in ACC mode.
Thank you that really helped you are awesome
Glad to hear it!
I need to do this, I bought a 2018 Signature used about a month ago and had the roughest ride up the Saw Mill Parkway north of NYC. The lows are aimed way too low. However neither my ratcheting 8mm socket nor a close end ratchet wrench (both look exactly like you show in the video) can fit! How did you get them in either side? Frustrated!
The 2018 headlight may be different, but it’s not much room back there at all. When I adjusted my friends and he has a 2016 with the led headlights, I had to detach his windshield wiper reservoir on the passenger side to get to the adjustment and he had a CAI, so I had to remove his filter to get to the driver side adjustment. I hope that helps.
@@DariusBuildz thank you, that makes sense given the space. I’ll it that one more try on Saturday. The alternative after all is the dealer which I would love to avoid, mostly out of pride :-)
@@kieronhinds1171 I try to avoid the dealer bc of the price and the time lost, 😂
Hello, I am trying to investigate how to adjust the high beams on my 2018 mazda 3, but I cannot find any site or manual that gives me that information, if you know how, please respond to my message, thank you.

Hi, how did you change the stereo a pioneer
The oem radio was a touchscreen in dash double din, so it was pretty simple.
Any options to adjust headlight horizontal?
As far as what I know, there is no horizontal adjustment for the AFS. There may be for the Sport and Touring Models.
I did it. My headlight now aim highe. However, when I turn the car and the headlights on, the AFS test points inward the outward. Has this always been the case? I thought the test was down to up.
I didn't use Corksport sensor.
I'm glad it helped to aim your headlights! AFS can be a trick! When I turn my car on, it goes up / down, then in/out to calibrate.
@@DariusBuildz they do? Mine only did it once after recalibration. They don't do a test aim anymore. I wonder if I messed it something up.
@@tjrick well, I am continuously airing up and down, so mine may have to calibrate every time for me since my ride height changes constantly.
I came to this video specially but reading this comment i am not sure if i shall try or not i don't wanna mess it up ... 1 of my friend from workshop garage told me these automatic lights are tricky i just wanna make it a tad higher coz I don't wanna use highbeams often
Thanks!
I hope it helps!
How ,any feet from garage door.
To do it properly, you should be on flat ground, 20-25 feet from a flat wall. The cut off should be 2 inches below the center line of the light emitting from the headlight. I did not do it to that specification, but I have adjusted head lights for 18 years now and I can get it pretty close.
Where'd you get the battery digitizer?
The great place of Amazon! amzn.to/3n8APLx
Niceeee

So what was the point of this? Now you will be shining your light into the eyes of the oncoming driver..
My car is lowered, so the headlights were adjusted to low. With that being said, I couldnt see properly, so they were adjusted about to OEM height
The adaptive headlights on US Mazdas have some features disabled which require them to be adjusted up, to be able to see objects in the road ahead.
To straighten out the headlights .... 👀... They cecome misaligned
Thanks!
Thank you!!! Glad it helped!! 🙏🏽
