Default can someone please check you head lights and see if its normal

Hello fellow Lexus driver,
I just got my vehicle back from Lexus after a whole week of "replacing headlight".
And night just fell and i was looking at my cut off and it seemed lower from the side they replace under the moisture warranty (mine went out). I have attached pictures please see if one of your headlight's cut off is higher than the other. I want to verify my claim before going back to the dealer.

Also why do my pictures always unload upside down even if i rotate it to be right.
Attached Thumbnails can someone please check you head lights and see if its normal-image.jpg   can someone please check you head lights and see if its normal-image_1.jpg   can someone please check you head lights and see if its normal-image_2.jpg

You can adjust the headlight height for left and right yourself, with an adjustment screw on each headlight. This will establish the baseline height that the auto level control will keep depending on the load of the vehicle and angle of the road. It should be slightly lower on the left side (for left hand drive models) to keep from blinding oncoming traffic.

The main thing is that you can see the road well and you are not blinding people.

They can only be adjusted up/down (one adjustment screw on each headlight).

There are two screws...not one....The owners manual has pictures and instructions. For every turn of the one screw you have to turn the other screw a certain amount as well.

Don't worry about the bottom screw, the top one adjusts up/down.

Default Not good

Sorry to hear that , I'm still waiting on mine . I have to take to Lexus and they take pictures and send them in to see if I get it fixed. Even though they said last visit , which was 3 months ago that it had the issue.
