headlights generate more light
than conventional halogen
headlights. Therefore, a driver
of an oncoming vehicle may
experience too much glare
when your headlight beam

because the vehicle is carrying
a heavy load. The headlight
beam leveler can be used to
adjust beam height to avoid
such a condition. To lower the
beam, turn the knob to the
higher numbers.
