If anyone buys these headlights and forgets to adjust the beams...
Just get the socket, I believe a 4mm socket for the up/down adjustment. get u-joints and an extension and just adjust away. This works for the passenger side.
The drivers side to adjust the up/down you need the same socket. What I did because of clearance issues is I wrapped the 4mm socket in electrical tape so that I can shove a ratcheting wrench on it and then I stuck it on the bolt and adjusted it on the car.
I hope that helps someone who's as lazy as I am and doesn't want to take the whole bumper off once again just to adjust the headlight.

Granted I have a 2011 GS350, but do these retain the factory adaptive headlight feature? Is this a plugnplay or do I need to buy the bulbs?

Just wanted to give everyone a little update, so I got mine over a year ago at the first start there was condensation building up and Vipmotoz kindly exchanged without any problem. Last week the wires for the low beam gave out but it was not under the warranty of VipMotoz but they did however allow me to do a exchange for $180 + old headlight. I just got my new headlight in few days ago and it works perfectly. I thought everything was going good until one rainy day my passenger headlight begin to have condensation in it. Once again I gave VipMotoz a email but since its the weekend I probably have to wait. I decided to dry it some suggest throwing in silica gels but not sure yet.

drill a hole or two in the bottom of the headlamp, so the water has a place to drain out. That's what cured my issues when I had the VIPmotoz

You may need to reseal the headlight again to avoid water leakage into the housing

I'm going to try to reseal it. I done the box & blow dryer trick. If you drill two holes on the bottom do you have to reseal or tape it shut?

The VIPMotoz LED headlights can be preinstalled with HIDs. Saves you the trouble of the doing the drilling and install

I bought them for my IS350 before I bought my RCF and they fit well!
