Where is the height adjustment for the low beam headlights of the Kia K3?

The height adjustment for the low beam headlights of the Kia K3 is located at the rear of the headlights. The adjustment method is: turn on the headlights, align the vehicle with a wall, open the hood, and use a cross screwdriver to adjust the screw hole. The Kia K3 is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4660mm, width 1780mm, height 1450mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Kia K3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 96kW, maximum power speed of 5500rpm, maximum torque of 211Nm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 1400 to 3700rpm.
I've been driving a Kia K3 for several years and often felt the headlights were too dim at night. I found a small knob on the left side of the dashboard near the steering wheel - turning it adjusts the headlight height up or down. The operation is simple: just twist it when parked in neutral, never adjust while driving. Setting the lights too high can blind oncoming drivers and increase accident risks; too low and you won't see distant obstacles clearly. I recommend testing at dusk in an open space facing a wall - the beam should project flat on the ground at moderate distance. If you can't locate the knob, your model might differ or it's broken - check the owner's manual for diagrams or visit a repair shop. This minor adjustment significantly improves driving safety, and making regular checks a habit is smart practice.
