Vehicle headlight leveling methods and systems provide occupants of a vehicle the ability to manually adjust headlight level in an efficient and intuitive manner. In some embodiments, a user may supply a current vehicle loading condition to an input such as a vehicle information or entertainment system. The system may determine a headlight level setting based on the received loading condition using an in-vehicle processor and/or memory. A signal indicative of the headlight level setting may be sent to a headlight leveling device to change the orientation of the vehicle headlight in relation to the body of the vehicle. Some embodiments may prompt a user to input a vehicle loading condition if the vehicle recognizes changed vehicle characteristics.
