Default 2001 Celsior headlight cutoff pattern

Is there a way to adjust the cut off pattern on 2001 Celsior in order to pass DOT without having to buy new headlights?

thanks

Can I adjust the pattern with them or just angle them down?

Please take a look at Post #8 on the link below. You have to use the "painted" light bulb for the 2001-2003 model, unlike the 2004-2006 model LS430, which has a different reflector to shape the light pattern.

Ok, so the pattern is determined by the bulb in the UCF30s?

thanks

Yes, the wrong bulb will give your low beam the oval pattern like that of the high beam.
