People have if there's an issue. Are you having an issue? What codes do you have?

Do not have any codes. However when driving at night the headlights are mostly pointing right in front of car. Very disconcerting on highway with no lights. Sometimes they do move up but mostly right in front.
Appreciate any ideas before I go to mechanic.
Regards

If you don't have codes, then the calibration might simply be off. As it would seem the electronics are ok with the results from the level sensor.
But to do that, you need a scan tool that can invoke the basic setting for headlight range adjustment. It essentially "zeros" the level sensor reading, matching it to the zero position of the motor. And then you adjust the headlamps to be correct for the zero position of the motor.
So you could have an issue with the level sensor, or an issue with the motor bracket inside the headlamp, if there's no codes but the zeroing process does not produce correct behavior.

you can drive up to some wall at night for about 5 meters and adjust manually. I think this will work well
