Thank-you "terrycs"! After looking at your posted pic and I see where you just slide the Philips down that slotted groove onto the gear. Worked like a champ!

Approximately how many turns did you guys do?

Trying to get an idea of how many turns on average is everyone doing.

Before I dropped the car I did 6 turns clockwise on both screws on each side because I think Lexus aimed them slightly low from the factory. After the dropped the car with Tanabe, I did another 6 turns. When I'm driving next to a wall on the freeway, the top of the light is now perfectly horizontal. So I might go back a turn or so. I'm very happy with the results.

I have not done any adjustments on mine since I dropped my ride. I certainly need to adjust the headlights up in order to see better at night. This is very good DIY info that saves money and time.

I think the F Sport sits a little lower from the factory right? I wonder if the factory adjusts these upwards to compensate or we all have this problem because they leave them at the regular GS350 setting.

Anyone that has done this: approximately how long of a screwdriver is necessary to reach the adjustments?
