Default My low beams blinding oncoming cars

Man it has become an annoyance and obviously my low beams are projecting higher and blinding oncoming traffic. Are the low beams adjustable downward?...I would assume this would be done via warranty by Lexus?

Wish the guy had that plastic piece off to actually show where the Driver Side screw is located. Then again, I can just go try this myself! Mine are too LOW!

I had to raise mine. Simple process. The marks on the shroud are just indicators, the adjusters are down a good way, I used a screw driver with 18-24" handle.

Easy to adjust with a long screwdriver. At first I thought my LED headlights were terrible at projecting light. After adjusting them upward, the low beams project out much farther, but they now blind oncoming traffic. Going to try a middle ground, (lower them a little bit), where the LED's work decently, without blinding anyone.

All manufacturers make mistakes......Lexus is just better at cranking out stuff with better quality control.

I first noticed an article that I posted about how Consumers Report was crtical of the RCF's triple LED not performing up to par as a CL member who is heavy into EXPENSIVE "aftermarket LED/HID conversions". The article posed the question regarding the triple LED lights not aimed (too far down) correctly and therefore the poor lighting scores. I was then simply stating one does not have to spend BIG MONEY to get good lighting in the CT200h by converting it's OEM halogens to aftermarket LEDs for a very reasonable price of around $89 or less (now below $69 for a pair of high powered LEDs).
