Default 2002 ES300 halogen headlights

Good day to all. I bought this car a few years ago with low miles. I dont drive it much but since my eyes are getting old I am replacing the lamps with LEDs. I know this sounds crazy, but the outside lights, low beams, shine higher than the 'high' beams. How is this possible? No reported wrecks or noticeable damage.

The LED Bulb is probably not sitting in its base correctly, that's happened to mine when i installed my LEDs recently.

If they ARE installed correctly, then turn on your headlights and turn the adjustment screws to aim the headlights properly, your model should use 8mm socket to adjust the level.

Thanks. I DID find that the high beam halogen wasnt seating correctly from when it was changed before i suppose. Not the case with the left one though. I got a knurled **** 1/4 inch drive for the 8mm and it was easy
enough to turn. The LED is offset some horizontally also, but no adjustment. I will make it work though. thanks again for the reply.
