You didn't say which MY your car is but - In the 2004 RX-330 Owner's Manual, look on page(s) 613 - 614 "....Adjusting Headlamp Aiming".

This shows where the vertical and horizontal screw adjustments are located and a basic description of how to adjust the aim.

Make pretty "minor" adjustments to start with. It's very easy to over adjust them! But yeah - a little higher on both lamps and a little more to the right (to the side of the road) on the passenger side headlight works great!

Good luck!

I am all for DYI, but guys when it gets to safety and comfort for all on the road, I would suggest pay a the mechanic with the right equipment.

So why do the cars come with the level bubble .... just in case you have things in the trunk that are going to raise your beam pattern, you can turn it down.

just my 2c.
