How to adjust the high beam height of the 10th generation Accord?

Rotate the headlight height adjustment button inside the car, which has the "headlight height adjustment" function, located in the cabin. When the headlight height adjustment button is rotated upwards, the light projection height moves downwards. When rotated downwards, the light projection height moves upwards. Sitting in the driver's seat, you can observe noticeable changes, and the operation is straightforward.

I remember when I first got my 10th-gen Accord, I also fiddled with the high beam adjustment. There's a rotary knob labeled 0-1-2-3 on the lower left side of the steering wheel - that's the height adjustment switch. After starting the car and turning on the headlights, rotating the knob while stationary will make the beam move up/down. Higher numbers raise the lights further. Best to adjust at night against a wall, with 3 meters being the ideal distance, and have someone sit in the driver's seat to simulate actual load. Be careful not to set them too high as it'll blind oncoming traffic - illuminating about 150 meters ahead is safest for highway driving. Always test drive after adjustment to check for beam bounce on undulating roads. Some owners complain about scattered high beams - that's a lens issue requiring professional modification, as DIY adjustment only fixes height. Regular checks are essential, especially after suspension modifications or significant load changes.

The headlight height adjustment on the 10th-gen Accord is pretty straightforward. I usually start by opening the hood and locating the white knob with a gear symbol on top of the headlight housing. A Phillips screwdriver does the trick—turn clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise, making 1/4-turn increments for fine-tuning. There’s also an electric adjustment knob below the steering wheel (0 for lowest, 3 for highest). If adjusting during the day, remember to shield the instrument cluster with a sunshade to see the effect. Key check: Ensure the driver and passenger headlights are aligned—measure the height difference between the wall beam centers with a tape measure (keep it under 5cm). Note for aftermarket HID upgrades: Some non-OEM assemblies require unlocking the adjustment latch first. Safety tip: Avoid adjustments in rain—water in screw holes risks stripping threads.

Adjusting the headlights on the 10th-gen Accord is a breeze. After starting the vehicle, head to the infotainment screen settings to find the lighting options—higher trims with auto-leveling even eliminate the manual knob. Base model owners should check the control area on the left side of the steering wheel; the roller with a headlight icon and up/down arrows is the adjuster. Setting 0 is ideal for full load, 1 works for daily use, and 3 is reserved for pitch-dark mountain roads. My tests show the optimal high-beam center point is 75cm off the ground to avoid blinding other drivers via rearview mirrors. LED bulb upgraders take note: Refocusing is mandatory as halogen focal points don't apply. Annual inspections penalize excessive beam height—sticking to factory settings saves hassle.
