Headlights
I noticed the motor inside my headlights must be broken because the lights point up and then back down. Its not a huge deal as they are still bright enough but the one thing I did love is never having a problem seeing. Can this motor be replaced easily? Is it costly? Has anyone else had the same problem.

It also might be the leveling sensor.

Zig, the link to the projector headlights you provided will fit your Harrier. It will fit any 98-03 Rx300/Harrier with halogen headlights.
Those projectors are halogen, not HID. If you try to put a HID bulb in there, you will get a lot of scattered light and it won't be pretty...

They will level during driving only if the switch on the right-rear control arm of the car detects extra weight in the rear. The switch also uses vehicle speed to reduce false alarms, meaning going over a pothole (something that would cause a great movement in control arm) won't affect the headlights pitch unless the arm has changed position for a longer period of time at higher speeds. <15MPH that switch is very sensitive however.
The "test-mode" only takes effect during start-up.
On the newer 04+ models with AFS, the auto-leveling lowers and raises at times during normal driving as well- more switches for different conditions...

I have to disagree with you harrier,they do adjust while driving. I have seen them do it, plus its in the owners manual re; that this will happen while traveling up hill (as to not blind other motorists) and like Yosh stated when braking etc.

I have those motors too,they only come with the hid lights. Is their a light on in your dash panel? If the motor,or motors go bad,a light on the dash should come on to let you know. Also,as far as replacing the motor,it looks very easy as they are at the top of the headlight.Thats the good new`s,the bad new`s is they are expensive!! It also might be the leveling sensor.
It also might be the leveling sensor.BTW only 70 miles away from 123,456

Their is no light on in the dash. What I am seeing is the lights turn on, rise up and then go down, now they are going down too far. If I pull up to a wall and turn them on I can sometimes see that they are trying to raise up and flicker a little bit. I would love to replace if its easy but as for now I am using the fogs on at all times. Is thier some way to tell if its the motor or leveling sensor? Thanks for all the responses!

I've never seen my HID adjust itself except during start-up. Plenty of up and down hills here in Colorado.
