The Brown/Tan color of the GS is my favorite. I'm really considering having my car repainted this color.

Probably talking about getting them level with good light output as to adjust them with the adjusting screws.

One of my headlights seems to be aimed lower than the other and when facing a wall you can see that the other headlight shoots farther than the other one

I know how to fix that on pop ups, but how do you adjust that with regular headlights? Physically move the bulb around?

There should be some adjusters on the housing that maneuver the projector itself, typically a Philips head bit or a gear looking wheel. Wish I could supply pics but I am work at the moment. haha

I am planning to sell mine in 2015. I bought it in 2002 and it's been a great run. I did feel the need to get my first new car ever and also get something with modern safety features and technology. I love the IS. The GS is a great car, but after all this time, I'm going to have to let go of it.
