Question at the end.
Additional information below.

Buying second-hand cars are always so fun! When I bought my 2006 is250 I was sold based on new parts and low mileage. The previous owner had put brand new headlights. Not a scratch or fade on them. Well after my recent issues, halogens burning https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-on-fire.html and my lights being very weak https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ights-low.html

I decided to do a major repair on the lights. Removed the bumper, took out the lights. I used the 9006 terminals from the after market hid kit to replace my burnt 9005 terminals (yes I know they don't fit, but the wires were better suited for wire heat). I purchased a new hid kit and (stupidly) 9006 3000k 55w halogens... and I forgot that the base key is the same but wouldn't fit the housing. Stupid stupid.

Anyway I got a 6000k 35w hid kit and found something very interesting. My drivers side headlight housing has original hid and afs ( the adaptive light thing).... the passenger? You guessed it has the stock non hid that comes with the premium package.

Anyway, I proceeded to replace both projectors with the new hid kit. They are an improvement for sure (compare photos). Though that driver side is still aiming a little low. (Drivers sides on its highest setting) If I am correct the xenon bar has to be pointing towards the back of the car. I tried adjusting the bulbs though I think there's something else I'm missing?

Also, I'm looking for the same drl/highbeams (don't care if they look ricey, the color doesn't bother my eyes) had luminics 9005 65w 2500 or 3000k. They were great but I can't find them or any 2500-3000k anywhere? I'm looking on amazon.ca and eBay plus all the auto shops can't find them. (Btw in Canada) I'll consider every other color except 3500-4500 and anything above 8000k. Nothing about 65w I don't want another headache of a job.

Also purchased 168 leds so I can leave my car in parking light mode so my drl/highs are rarely used.

Questions:
What can I do about that low drivers projector? It's already as high as it goes. Maybe bulb placement?
Where in Canada can I get decent 9005 65w halogens below 3500k or above 5000k? I'd prefer Amazon as I have prime and want them in asap.

Looking at the cutoff on your pic the driver light, IIRC, is correct. Mine are a little lower in my stock setup than the passenger side too. I think it is by design to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

I was thinking exactly the same though wanted to double check in case of something else.

As far as it being lower on the driver side, yes, they are all like that by design.
