Where is the Camry headlight height adjustment?

Vehicles are equipped with a headlight height adjustment control device, allowing for manual adjustment of the headlight beam height. For vehicles with manual headlight height adjustment devices, the control is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Rotate the adjustment gear to adjust the headlight height. Automatic headlight height adjustment is based on the vehicle's self-sensing mechanism to make adjustments.
I remember when I was using the Camry, adjusting the headlight height was quite convenient. The control is usually located on the left side of the steering wheel, below the instrument panel area, where there's a small dial or button, possibly with a headlight icon, and you can adjust the height by turning it left or right. Many Camry models feature electric adjustment, unlike older cars where you had to open the hood and adjust screws. When adjusting, it's best to park on level ground and make fine adjustments with the lights on to ensure the beam doesn't dazzle oncoming traffic. I often remind my friends not to overlook this when driving at night, especially on uneven mountain roads where a beam set too high can blind others, while one set too low reduces visibility. If adjustments aren't possible, it might be due to a faulty motor or a blown fuse, requiring a check at the 4S shop. During regular maintenance, I also ask the technician to quickly inspect it to avoid any nighttime safety issues.
Hey, about adjusting the headlight height on a Camry, the control is located near the left side of the dashboard in the driver's seat area. Just look for a small knob or button and turn it. I think newer models like the post-2021 ones with electronic systems have a more discreet fixed position design, but the operation remains the same. When I go on long drives, I always make a habit of adjusting the height first to avoid getting flashed by oncoming drivers. Remember to turn off the engine and manually adjust the lights with them on for better accuracy. After adjusting, check if the beam is level—not too high or too low. The Camry's headlight adjustment system is quite reliable; I've used it for years without major issues. If it gets stuck, don't force it—it might be due to poor wiring contact or moisture, which needs to be addressed.
