Exclamation Help: Headlights adjustment

Hey everyone,

I need to adjust the headlights for my 2015 Lexus gs 350, because it's too low, and it do nothing in semi dark roads. I have removed engine covers, but still, I don't see anything that I can adjust for the headlights. Have anyone tried to adjust it? video or pictures can help

Thank you!

If you look carefully there is circle disk with some notches on it. If you put the engine cover back on it will have a hole pointing it out. Also I believe there is a groove for the screwdriver leading to the disk.

The last 2 cars I had I found it much easier to use a 8mm ratcheting wrench since I never had luck turning the teeth with the screwdriver, except on my older 07 GS I couldnt reach the driver side unless inner wheel well was removed.

Here's the way I've done it and it's pretty easy.

First get a screw driver and put a small mark on the screw driver like a hand on a clock from the center to the edge. This will let you know how many rotations of your screws driver you have some while doing your adjustments.

Next remove the plastic if needed if you screw driver isn't long enough and place the screw driver on the adjustment screw. Take note of which way is up. Then I do 2 full rotations on both sides using the mark on top of the screw driver as a reference.

Then go for a drive and then repeat if you want higher or turn it back if you want lower.

I don’t want to sound slow, but do you need a certain size screwdriver to engage the gear? I have a clear line of sight at the gear and adjusting it, but my screwdriver isn’t moving the gear. It can reach the gear, but when I turn the screwdriver, it’s not making the gear turn.

Try to spray some PB blaster or other penetration spray on it first.

You want a large Philips head.
