If you read the Honda.co.uk website, automatic headlight height is described as a feature. AFAIK, it's compulsory with xenons, as are the wash jets.
I wonder if thats on the newer models as I haven't got it

we only have the automatic adjuster for boot loads. we don't have the type where it adjusts as you brake or accelerate.

They can adjust the base setting level. The adjustment sensors then adjust the level from that base setting, according to the load in the car - i.e. if the boot has a heavy load then the car will be tilted upwards at the front, so the headlights lower the beam. Yours must have had that base position out of alignment.

I don't think any cars have a system that adjusts according to braking and acceleration.

In fact Porsche with their Litronic lights do have this feature.


What I don't understand when people ask about automatic adjustment is what they are asking. As my and your post point out the car does adjust based upon the load in the car but if the headlights are out of alignment or too high/low as standard this will need to be adjusted just like any other car and manually.
