Default Are your headlights too high?

Getting a lot of highbeaming from approaching cars, and my headlights do seem to be angled pretty high...I got my RCF used, was a lease return, one owner, and pretty sure that owner never tinkered with the light angle, unless maybe they told Lexus it was too low and service changed the angle?

Anyway, just wanna know if they're really bright and angled up stock and if everyone has that issue or mine is different and I needa have my dealer angle it down a bit

Both Lexus cars I own and bought new are definitely aimed on the low side. I need to aim a little higher but haven’t messed with the lights yet..

Pretty easy to do at home. Mine are substantially low and I'll need to adjust them soon.

Quick reference:

Quite a bit more detail here:

DITTO! Mine are also Lower than Normal which I thank you for this Video. Nothing worse than only being able to see one car length ahead of you at night! Add inclement weather and it becomes even worse! I will most definitely be adjusting mine at night with it parked facing my garage of a huge wall to even them out. I know its been said in many other Threads, but if there are "TRUE" Replacement LED Bulbs that are easy to install - I'd do it if I knew which ones to use?

Note: About a month ago I got suckered into buying "Pre-Cut" Vinyl pieces to conduct a Chrome Delete, which were subsequently returned right away due to fitment. Included in this purchase were two Round Yellow pieces of film to be applied to Fog Lights. Well, look again Gunny - you do not have "Fog Lights" on this car! Since the Triple Beams are all little Rectangles behind the housing glass- I cut one Yellow Piece to the exact shape of one "Bulb" and simply applied it over the outsode of the Headlight Housing. I had no intention of keeping this odd looking film on the car, but after several comments from both friends and strangers on how cool it looked from a distance - I have kept them on. While driving at night, they do seem to project a somewhat helpful "Glare" - cant think of a better term to explain this. Since I need to conduct a Pro Photo Shoot for BC Forged, I will take some at dusk to show the yellow hue.
