Is there only one screw (8mm) to aim the headlights up/down? I don't have an owner's manual so I can't look it up and already tried searching the forums. Thanks!

 

can anyone confirm this?

 

There are two bolts. I'll check my car for the location. The picture in the manual shows them next to each other. I will get back with you after I look at my car, get a better view.

I see one bolt, but can't find the other one. The picture in manual shows it close to the fender. Maybe do a goggle search. Page 378-9 in the manual. Hope this helps.

 

do you have OEM HID headlights? I see it in the manual I found online but when I go to look at the headlights, I don't see the screws anywhere. Ugh. Might just have to take the entire headlight out.

 

I have oem lights. Maybe go to a Lexus dealer, ask them to show you where the screws are, that's what I'm going to do.

 

Refer to attach file below for adjusting headlight. Calibration is different procedures. Hope this help.

 

I saw that diagram earlier and it doesn't apply to halogen headlamps. That diagram is for cars equipped with OEM HID. I ended up taking out the entire headlamp assembly (a real PITA by the way) and there is only one screw to adjust the headlamps. The halogen assemblies only have the visible 8mm screw to adjust the headlamps although I was not able to change it even after messing with it for a couple of hours.

 

Too bad this is a big pain. My headlights are aimed o.k., hope they stay that way. Still a great car.

 

First of all the adjustment hole and teeth that should allow a screwdriver to adjust..simply didnt work worth a darn on my 2004 es330. I found it easier to use a larger size (sorry dont have size info) allen wrench to insert into the back of the wheels and adjust clockwise to raise the beam. It seems to adjust very slowly and takes alot of turns to make big changes but it works. Its not too hard to judge about where you want it and test it out w a quick drive around the block. Of course counter clockwise lowers the beam. Shine it on ur garage door and put tape across midline horizontally so u know where it started from. An inch or two has big effect so dont go crazy.

 

The posted diagram looks nothing like my car. Is there a diagram showing the nylon hex bolts for adjusting headlights?
