So i got a black es350 loaner for now..

LOL me too! that's why i'm confused, if the bubble was closer to us that should mean that it's pointing more up. Yet mine are pointed pretty downward. Do I move the bubble more down or back to 0 or even farther back than 0?

this is what it says in the manual... "Turn adjustment bolt so that the bubble is within the 2 center lines"...

Man I just had my service guy at the dealership do it. They didnt know how so I showed them the directions in the manual. They didnt have luck with that so they looked online and found the direction on a lexus resource site for dealerships. Let the dealership do it. Its not worth the frustration imo

Too bad they wanted to charge me $230 and they said "hour labor for each lightbulb". Sure I go to the dealerships every 5000 miles but I'm not going to be blatantly ripped off like that
