Default Headlight aiming issue?

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before. My driver side headlight all of a sudden was aiming significantly lower than my passenger. I've done searches and found that I can manually adjust it, but was wondering if anyone has encountered the height auto adjusting on its own??? (Turning on/off the car did not fix the problem)

One thing that made this obvious was when I made 90 degree left turn, the left/right auto adjust would go crazy (e.g. Adjust left as I turn and then rapidly adjusting back. Right pause, right pause)

Any thoughts?

No changes whatsoever. I left town for about 2 weeks, so my car was just sitting there. The first night I used the car when I came back, there were no problems. The only thing I did since then was wash my car.

Mine did that for a while... The left side was LOWER than the right. When you start the car, the right side would do the up down cycle but the left would not... It would just stay all the way down. After a while though, it went back to normal by itself... Hasn't happened since... (knock on wood)

Would agree and say that mine was tempermental for about 2.5 weeks then nothing. Of course it was when I could get the car into Lexus for them to fix it that it stopped... nothing since though(knock on wood also)

Thanks!
