Sorry to bring this from the dead, but can anyone upload the pictures again? I've been trying to look for the horizontal hole for the longest time, and I can't for the life of me find it. I've looked on multiple forums for pictures, but nothing. I adjusted the visible screw already.

I have a non-HID 2007.

Mine is 2007 and the manual is not even close or borderline useless.
Anyone with 2007 please chime in.

Mine is 1007 and the horizontal adjustment screw does not seem to exist as claimed by several members.
I may try to adjust the vertical again as it seems a little low still.

Reviving this from the dead.

I have an 07 IS220d with stock projector halogens and paid 12$ to have the dealer adjust the headlights.
I can confirm that the factory spec height is too low and I can barely see past the 50m mark whereas with my other car, a Peugeot 308 with reflector halogens, I can see much further and much wider.

I can also guarantee that the projector halogens do not have an horizontal screw since that's a xenon only feature.

I didn't count the teeth or how many turn of the screw driver, I simply face my car to a wall and adjust the headlights until it satisfy me. I did it vertically only and found my car's headlights a bit leaning towards the right. I will adjust the horizontal later.

Default HIDs without AFS

I have a 2007 IS250. I know it has HIDs, but I don't know if it has AFS. I don't have the car near me, so I can't go through the menu to see if there is an AFS switch. If the lights move up when I turn on the car, however, does that mean I have AFS? I believe the lights move when I turn on the car.

Default Headlights Auto sensor levels

Hi guys,

Please help, I lowered my car on BC coilovers and and now I'm getting a warning message on dash saying check headlights. The car is not that low I only lowered it about 10mm from standard is350 F sport specs.

I do have to level adjustments I noticed one behind the rear passenger wheel and one in the front passenger side.

No matter what I did and how I adjust it the warning lights won't go away.

I took it to Lexus and they said they don't know what's wrong with it unless I pay about $1000 and leave the car with them for a couple of days.

Can anyone help please, there has to be way

Did you see the steps in these threads?
I'm assuming that by lowering it. The sensors lost the 0 point.

Best advice I can give for this is try this first.

Read post #4. The members mention starting on the rear sensor first. Remember your car is now lowered so bring the rear down some. Can you see the existing indention of the bolt head on the level arm? If still visible I'd start there. Unbolt the arms and hand tight back to fixed position. Then do what is mentioned in the post. If everything goes well secure the arm bolts back correctly.
