I've been driving my Mazda Axela for several years and have adjusted the headlight height myself a few times. It's quite simple. Usually, you need to find the adjustment screws under the hood, typically located behind the headlight cover, and slowly turn them with a Phillips screwdriver. The key is to park the car on level ground and aim the headlights at a wall at night, marking a reference point on the wall. Adjust the height up or down to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. If there's no dedicated button inside the car, just adjust them manually. Before driving, always take a quick glance at the headlight direction to avoid sudden changes that could affect safety. I usually check them during regular maintenance—it saves money and hassle. If you're unsure about the screw locations, refer to the owner's manual or ask a mechanic for a quick two-minute demonstration. Avoid poking around randomly to prevent damaging the wiring. With this approach, the lighting range becomes more reasonable, making driving much more comfortable.
