What does adjustable headlight height mean?

Adjustable headlight height refers to the function of the front headlights that allows adjustment of the light projection angle. The methods to adjust the front headlights are: 1. The first knob next to the headlight switch, turning it upward raises the beam, and turning it downward lowers the beam; 2. Open the engine hood, and on the headlight box in the engine compartment, there is a white object with a cross-shaped knob inside. Use a cross screwdriver to rotate it left or right to adjust the height. The methods to repair car front headlights: 1. Check the degree of aging, cracking, and yellowing of the front headlights and use masking tape to cover the surrounding areas to prevent damage to the paint during sanding; 2. Choose sandpaper based on the severity of the front headlight condition; 3. After washing with water, let it dry or use a hair dryer to dry it; 4. Use a vaporizer cup to heat and fumigate the headlight until the front headlight shell becomes transparent.
I noticed this headlight height adjustment feature the first time I drove at night. It essentially changes the vertical angle of the front light beam. In my daily driving, when the trunk is fully loaded making the rear heavier, the headlights tend to tilt upward, dangerously glaring into oncoming drivers' eyes. There's a small dial in my car that I usually keep at the mid setting, but when carrying more passengers, I turn it down to lower the beam and avoid blinding others, making driving smoother. Many new cars now come with automatic adjustment that senses vehicle tilt and adjusts height accordingly. I find this feature quite practical, especially on mountain roads or during rain - proper beam height improves visibility and prevents accidents. Maintenance is simple too; manual adjustment works when power fails, but if the lights start flickering erratically, it's time for a dealership visit.
