they are projectors so if you park in front a wall, you can see where the lines are and then adjust it accordingly

Just do a headlight adjustment. Its really easy. Lexus has a PDF document of how to adjust them on the web somewhere, just Google it.

If all else fails try using Youtube. That left headlight, if I'm looking at it correctly, is probably blinding a lot of people from their rear view mirrors. Good luck!

They are not supposed to be even. The driver side headlight should be lower to prevent blinding on coming cars. In your case it seems your driver side is way too high

yep, the cutoff on the driver side is suppose to be set lower. Because of this design, your headlights will never have the exact same output, you can play around with the aim and get it pretty close though
