Default Adjusting headlights

Not sure whether there was a post about this but I need to adjust my headlights to be slightly higher.

Has anyone done this? I'd like to avoid a trip to Lexus to do that.

Thanks.

Just read your owner's manual. It's in there under DIY maintenance.

why would you want them higher? I cant imagine that they are less than perfect from the factory.

It is easy to do. Take off the plastic cover in the front of the engine bay. There is a bolt in the shape of a circle on the back of the headlight. When you turn it the lights move up or down. Make sure you adjust with the lights when on.....dont go too high...you dont want to blind oncomig traffic. I moved mine up..I can see ALOT better now!
