I have to decide the headlamp leveling angle of dipped beam of a heavy duty truck whose load carrying capacity is more than 12 tonnes. the distance of dipped beam lamp & ground is 888mm for unladen vehicle & that of laden vehicle is 858mm. Please let me know how to decide the leveling angle?

ramesh, that isn’t how it is done in the real world

if the headlights are currently aimed correctly with the truck empty, spot and mark a wall with the current center position of the low beams, now load the truck and recheck and adjust to the same settings with the truck now fully loaded

just pick a level spot, it doesn’t matter if you move the truck to load it, just position it in the same spot when you check it, good luck!
