Headlight adjustment???
Hello, folks. I've searched everywhere to find out if the halogen bulb headlights on a 2014 ES are adjustable, and if so, how.
I did a Morimoto HID bulb upgrade and they look great - but if I want to fine tune the headlight aim I have no clue how to do it. I found a little info that only applied to the last generation stock HID headlights. The little markings under the hood for up-down left-right adjustment don't seem to point to anything in particular, and I don't know that they even apply to non-HID (non self-leveling) headlight units. It's really frustrating.
Any info/pictures would be a miracle. Thanks

Thanks. I was unsure about these videos - whether the mechanisms/light design had changed in 7 years. Can't find any video or info about the current generation ES.

The reason I posted this because I did HID upgrade on My car from halogen. Mine is 2013 ES300H. I found that the HID aim higher and I had to lower them. For that you need Philips head screw driver same as in the video.

GES - That's just it - there doesn't seem to be ANYTHING around the turn signal side of the light...no adjustment screws. Since nobody seems to know I'll go to the dealer and make them show me!

I agree the dealer would know better. In my case all I needed is the up and down movement, there was no reason for me to move it right or left. After installing the conversion kits, the lights were leveled, they just needed to be lowered. This of course because the lens is not meant to be for the HID bulbs. I am not sure why you had such discrepancy in the alignment of the two headlights.

GES - I'm not sure I need left-right adjustment yet. I haven't done the full process of measuring everything, placing tape on the wall, etc. Just before I did the upgrade the dealer replaced the driver's side headlight under warranty because of a tiny bit of moisture inside the top edge. After that it just seems like the new light is slightly off to the right. I could be wrong! The alignment process will show for sure. But, since it doesn't look like I could even adjust it, who cares lol!
