The headlights on the NX are auto-self-leveling so it would surprise me to find some form of manual leveling function.

Even automatic leveling headlights often have manual adjustment capabilities. I haven't looked at my NX for it yet because my wife, the automotive lighting technical expert (seriously), said they were aimed perfectly and I shouldn't touch them.

I'll have her take a look when she can.

our forester is also self leveling but you can still adjust the aim for the headlights

keep us posted lazyK thank you, i want to aim it a bit higher with the number of path holes in our area, its hard to suddenly avoid them

thanks

I just bought a 2015 NX300H fully loaded with the triple beam LED headlights and it does not have auto leveling. The auto leveling feature might not be available in the US version. From the factory the headlight are aimed low so I raised mine to be higher. The procedure was the same when I raised my headlight on my 2IS. All you have to do is pop open the hood and you can see the adjustment **** to change the height, you can either use a screwdriver or use a 8mm socket wrench. Turn it counter-clockwise to raise it.

Bumping an old thread ... There is is height adjustment on the 2016 NX200 . Use an 8mm socket to turn the nut on the cog that is at the back of the headlight. Clockwise to lower, counter clockwise to raise.

Thanks for the bump. My triple beam LEDs were horrible on low beam and were amazing on high beam. I just moved them up so hopefully the low beams will be usable now.

Bumping an old thread here as well. WDEagle led me here. I was looking for info on how to raise the low beams on my 2016 NX and the advice given above is spot on. Thank you.
