What number should the headlight height be adjusted to?

Headlight height is generally set at the initial position, which is the horizontal height of the O setting. Below is an introduction related to car headlights: Introduction to Car Headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of the car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. Purpose of Light Adjustment: It allows the car's lights to maintain an appropriate height at all times, facilitating nighttime driving and adapting to different road conditions. Importance of Light Adjustment: The more passengers in the back seats, the lower the rear of the car sinks, causing the front of the car to rise accordingly. This raises the headlight height, potentially dazzling drivers of oncoming vehicles and distracting them, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.
I usually keep my headlights at the 0 setting since I mostly drive alone with an empty trunk. If the back seats are full or I have large luggage, I adjust it to 1 to prevent the front from tilting up and blinding oncoming traffic. Last time when camping with friends, with four grown men in the car and the trunk packed with tents and sleeping bags, I quickly turned the knob to 2 to avoid dazzling other drivers. When reading the manual, note that some car models have 0 as the highest position, but most designs use higher numbers for lower beam angles. The key is to adjust based on the vehicle's load—use 0 when empty, 1 for half-load, and 2 or 3 for full load. Setting it too low may reduce road visibility, so test a few times to find the right balance.
