If I were you, before adjusting, I would drive ahead of that van at night and see if they should be raised, from the perspective of the vehicle in front. Better for you to have to use high beam when necessary to see further than to have that all the time at the cost of blinding everyone else.

good advice...if you find yourself getting frequent flashes to dim, you've aimed too high. Better to just not outdrive your lights.
