Headlight Adjustment when you lower???
I recently lowered my wife's gs350 f sport and was wondering how to adjust the headlight beam? I followed the adjustment screws from the owner's manual and they tried to raise them, but they don't move. Just wondering if anyone has successfully moved there lights. I know the headlights are adaptive so the move up and down with a motor so not sure if that is why they don't move with the adjustment screws. Any help would be great.

Some lowered folks went as many as 35 turns to start seeing the difference, it depends on how low ur car sits. It's the screw that is close to the grille that adjusts the height, turning it clockwise will raise it and counterclockwise will lower it. I did 8-9 turns on mine and can see a noticeable difference and I'm on stock height.

Yes I pulled on flat ground shining on a wall. Turned to move them up and nothing. Then turn the down just to see if they would move and nothing. It's kinda weird. I am gonna look at them when I get home today in the daylight to see what is going on. Never had an issue adjusting headlights before, but these are just not moving.

Yes I was turning the one by the fender. Didn't realize that there are in fact 2 adjustment points. Was wondering why nothing was moving. Will play with it again tonight and see what I can come up with. I will update when I'm done. Thanks for the help thus far.

Hey make sure u mark the current adjustment point before messing with it. Just tape off the cutoff lines on the wall and use it for reference.

Did u remove the covers on the engine bay near the front grille? That will give u better visibility of the adjustment screws and whether they are turning or not.
