Vertical aim adjustment
- Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface, approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
- Measure the height of the headlamp bulb center from the ground and mark an 8 foot (2.5 meter) horizontal reference line on the vertical wall or screen at this height (a piece of masking tape works well).
- Turn on the low beam headlamps to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. To see a clearer light pattern for adjusting, you may want to block the light from one headlamp while adjusting the other.
- On the wall or screen you will observe an area of high intensity light. The top of the high intensity area should touch the horizontal reference line, if not, the beam will need to be adjusted using the next step.
- Locate the vertical adjuster on each headlamp. Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, turn the adjuster either clockwise (to adjust down) or counterclockwise (to adjust up). The horizontal edge of the brighter light should touch the horizontal reference line.
- Close the hood and turn off the lamps.

You're done. Simple as that.

Adjust the headlight so it centers on that mark.

To adjust the beam horizontally (aim it left or right), first equip yourself with a star screwdriver with a longish shaft. Open the bonnet, and look just behind the headlight cluster for a hole in the metalwork through which you can slip the screwdriver shaft to engage a screwhead on the headlight cluster itself. Turning the screw clockwise aims the light further to the right, while turning it anticlockwise aims the light further to the left.
What speeds are your low beam head light affective?
Headlight effectiveness and speed relationship is hypothetical. What matters are the correct headlight aim, road, and driving conditions. First, your vehicle headlight's aim is preadjusted at the factory. If is has been replaced, the aim had to be readjusted. Check your owner's manual. Second, road conditions has a bearing on headlight effectiveness. Asphalt road are darker and harder for night vision while concrete roads tends to be lighter and better for night vision. Third, headlight aim and speed relationship is only effective when the road is straight. On windings, twists, turns, inclines, uphills, downhills, and curves, the driver need to adjust to it. A good rule of thumb is to adjust your driving to the conditions you're in. If you can no longer see the road ahead clearly with your headlights, it's probably time to slow down a bit.

What is Head light Leveling system?
A headlight leveling system adjusts the vertical aim of the headlights based on the position of the rear suspension.

A headlight leveling system lowers the headlight beam to compensate for this allowing the driver to see the road clearly without blinding oncoming traffic.
