How to adjust the headlight height of a sedan?

Lift the engine hood and locate the adjustment knob at the rear of the headlight assembly. Use the appropriate tool to adjust it, first determining whether the knob adjusts left-right or up-down. Park the vehicle facing a wall at a distance of about 10 meters, observe the height of the left and right headlights, and if necessary, use tape or other markers for measurement, comparison, and adjustment.
When I first bought my car, I also wondered how to adjust the headlight height—it's actually quite simple. Look for a small knob or button near the lower left side of the steering wheel inside the car, and just turn or press it to adjust the height. I usually park in front of a flat garage at night, facing a wall with the headlights on, and adjust the beam to slightly below the center of the headlight position on the wall. Too high and it might blind oncoming drivers; too low and you won’t see far enough at night, which is dangerous. After a few tries, you’ll get the hang of it—just take your time and keep your hands steady. I’ve also seen tutorials saying different car models have different adjustment methods, and the height difference between SUVs and sedans should be noted. Doing it yourself is hassle-free and educational. I recommend checking before long trips—safety shouldn’t be taken lightly.
