Ok, checked the manual and it's little pictures of where these "wheels" are is pathetic. I found one, but not the other. Though I never fully trust any factory manuals because they're all written to a few different vehicles. There's like 3 different types of headlights for our cars from what I understand, halogen, hid's, and led's. I hear they all adjust differently, and the manual just has one sort of adjustment, but I heard there's more, and you wouldn't make a different manual for each type of car so I'm confused. I can NOT find this second adjustment screw anywhere. This is all I can find:



Anyone? All I can find are adjustments to cars from 34 years ago, or all the pictures in the threads are broken.

The other wheel is not visible. All thats visible is the hole to insert the screwdriver and adjust

There are 2 types of adjustment, HID or Halogen. The manual shows both types.

LED DRL's were added for 2011, but they do not affect the adjustment procedure. The headlights are still HID.

From the repair manual:





These two sets of instructions are applicable to all 2IS models.

Wow that's awesome, thank you. Though my window sticker (THIS is why we should have spid labels) says HID's, I can not find that second adjustment screw. That picture is still not doing it for me. Do I not have HID's? I'm starting to wonder because of how hard it is to find this 2nd adjustment screw. I can see a few holes, but there is nothing for a screwdriver to mess with at the end of the holes...

Buddiiee

Well I'm guessing this window sticker is wrong because I cannot find the second screw. I turned what screw I could find and it seems to have done the trick. Could my window sticker possibly be wrong? Or was there a change to the 2011 hid's that noone knows about.

My Oz IS350 Dec 2011 with factory HID only has the 8mm headed adjuster.
I too searched for the 2nd one... still looking

Buddiiee

How long have you been looking? lol. I'm about the call the dealer on this one lol.

Buddiiee

Called the dealership; the parts guy and the tech he asked is clueless. So much for "factory certified" lol.

I have adjusted both adjusters on a 2009 and my 2011, it's there, lol. The second adjuster is through the white "tube" on the back of the headlight. I tried to find a picture, you can see it on the right side:

How do I access that? Take the tube off?

No, the screwdriver goes through a hole in the upper rad support extension/fender apron area, through the white tube to the adjuster. Look at the diagram in the instructions and find the hole in the picture BlckGhst posted.

Yep, I got it. It's just my "long" screwdriver was just a touch too short. Even with a super bright light shining in there you can't see it, but it is there lol. Thanks guys.

Buddiiee

Yea Bazzle, the hole blkghst posted is indeed the one. Even though you'll NEVER see anything down in there it is there. You need a really long screwdriver lol.

bazzle01

There's a line there

Thanks. Ill have a look next time I check the setup..
