How to Adjust the Headlight Height of the Eighth Generation Accord?

Use a dedicated screwdriver or a regular screwdriver to insert and rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. It's best to do this at night with the car's headlights facing a garage wall. Adjust until the brightest horizontal line of the light is approximately 1.2 meters above the ground.

I've driven many cars, including the eighth-generation Accord, and adjusting the headlight height indeed requires proper technique. Generally, after getting in the car, you'll find a round knob marked with numbers from 0 to several levels (higher numbers mean higher beam position) on the lower left side of the instrument panel near the steering wheel. It's best to perform the adjustment at night while parked, facing a wall or flat surface. Turn the knob to align the beam position, ensuring it doesn't shine into oncoming traffic lanes to avoid safety hazards. A recommended setting is the mid-range, such as position 2 or 3, which balances visibility range and others' safety. Additionally, regular headlight height checks are crucial since vehicle load changes can affect stability, and improper adjustment may cause glare or blind spots, increasing accident risks.
