Default headlight adjustment

I just put in a new headlight for my 08 600hl. my issue is the head light is pointed downwards. Is there a thread that shows how to adjust the headlight.

thank you in advance.

Check the owner's manual maybe?

Try doing a Google search or you may have to return to the Lexus dealer to solve the issue.

Check the clips holding the bulb in - if you don't get it all lined up right it's easy to have it radically misaligned different from the normal headlight adjusting mechanism. First place to start is to make sure the bulb is seated correctly because just replacing it shouldn't cause it to go wildly out of adjustment so that it's pointing down.

Are the bulbs actually replaceable on the LED headlights? I thought it was the entire cluster that gets replaced when they go out. I say this with the understanding that all 600h's have LED headlights, or at least thats what I thought but could be wrong. If I'm right on that, it's probably the adjustment screws that need modification which should be explained in the owners manual with their respective locations.

The LEDs are the low beams. The high beams are a 9005 halogen bulb. When you have the lights on the lows (the 3 projector stack) are white in color. Turn the high beams on and the lowest innermost projector (about 50% bigger diameter than the LEDs) turns on and is noticeably yellow in color. Don't seem nearly as bright as my SC's HIDs.
