2013 LS460 LED Headlight Aim

Anybody know the procedure for adjusting the angle of low beams on the optional LED headlights for a 2013 LS460? I have looked in the manual and asked the dealer but haven't got a solid solution. I was in a friends new corolla and his LED headlights lit up more of the road than my LS! His corolla has one projector on each side while mine has two on each side but the poor aim kills the lighting on the road. I have looked and there doesn't seem to be any adjustment screws like my past Lexus vehicles with HIDs

Appreciate any feedback, thank you!

Check out page 791. Two places to adjust, one pictured.

No way, I have pulled all those panels off looking for that. You have LED headlights? I'm half tempted to go pull off the panels right now but it's 2:30am and I should probably go to bed!

Thank you for the reply though, I'll check it out in the morning.

Hi Joe,

Yes mine is also with LED. After taking out the panel, bend the fender-attaching panel down and you should see the 2 adjustment points. Though I haven't play with them to see if they are really adjustable.

It should also be noted that adjustment bolt A moved the lights vertically and clockwise is up, counterclockwise is down. This was also information I was not 100% clear on. Adjustment bolt B is supposed to be turned the same amount in the same direction as A. If you change them to aim lower and turn counterclockwise it should be noted that the adjustment bolt should be tuned a little clockwise after modification.

The adjustments only took a couple of turns on the bolt, some threads say it took technicians "a ton of turns" or some have said you have to spin it 100 times which was not the case on mine, maybe two or three complete turns of the screwdriver significantly changed the direction to the correct alignment.
