My 96 Toyota Corona (AT211) has an automatic setting for the headlights, can
anyone tell me how to adjust this.

All I can find in my drivers handbook is that it is possible and to take it
to a Toyota service agent.

For starters make sure it is clean and that the windshield above it is not
obstructed (with a decal of some kind)

the adjuster for the headlights will be in the cabin, read the manual,
standard setting should be on 0 (zero), 1,2,and 3 will be for lowering the
headlights when you are towing for example, to prevent blinding oncoming
traffic.

Your advice is good. Unfortunately, some jurisdictions require that
their officially issued stickers be placed on the windscreen exactly
where the owner's manual warns you not to put them.

The adjustment procedure for some cars involves simply rotating the
protective disk that covers the sensor. I do NOT know if that is
Toyota's scheme for any of its models. If you decide to try rotating
the disk on your car, mark its starting position so you can return it
to factory-spec later.
