Inside the cabin, usually near the headlight switch, there is a dial that allows you to adjust the height of the headlights according to the vehicle's load conditions; if the vehicle is heavily loaded, the front tends to rise, and you need to lower the beam.

The motor that enables this adjustment is integrated into the headlight itself, and to replace it, you must remove the indicator light first, then unscrew the fixing screws and disconnect the connectors; then remove the cap and proceed with the motor replacement, reversing the steps for reinstalling the headlight.
