Default How to adjust headlight?

After lowering my car, my headlight beam is significantly aiming downwards...
is GS350 headlight auto leveling headlight?
can it be manually adjusted?

mine seems low also but I haven't try looking to see where the adjustment will be. I will try to look for it this week.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe (or I think) the adjustment is at the rear suspension for the electronic height control since you lowered your car.

Look underneath on the rear side, you will see a lever on the right side. This way both head lights will adjust it self.

Pop the hood and you'll see the markings U/D on the plastic above each headlight. Use a long screw driver to turn it until you have the desired height on both sides. It will auto level to the position you set it to.

Also, you have to turn BOTH of the screws on each side, not just one. It's counterintuitive, but yes, it's in the manual.

The arm on the sensor is fixed length and there are no adjustments. I believe the only way is by using the adjustment screws under the hood.

My RWD F Sport is at stock ride height and the headlights already seem like they are already pointing low, I couldn't imagine if I had lowered my car..

There is a guy on Ebay that makes adjustable threaded arms for the sensors. They are aftermarket and made to replace just the arm and not the whole sensor if the rest is saveable, he made it threaded in case anyone needs extreme adjustment either way.
