Lexus ES 2007-12 :: LH Headlight Aiming High On 2008 ES350
I have an unusual issue with the drivers side headlight. I recently got a used 2008 ES350 and the drivers side headlight aims high and dazzles oncoming traffic. I have adjusted the two screw adjusters their full range but cannot get the light to aim horizontally. The lights are HID AFS. The car was in a previous accident and the front drivers side wing was repaired.
I have a feeling the body shop did not do a great job (the paintwork is not great) and the light may not be mounted at the correct angle. The AFS works fine for the LH headlight but I don't see much movement of the RH light? Perhaps they installed a non AFS unit during the repair. How to check the alignment of the headlight assembly and body work, and how to correct the headlight problem if the screw adjusters don't move the beam.
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Headlight Aiming Kind Of Low
Well I put some HID light in my 2001.5 GLX Passat an I notice that they are aiming kind of low. I know which slots are what. Ones for highering and lowering and the others from side to side. But when I'm trying to adjust them the up and down they work but when I'm trying to adjust the side to side they seem like they aren't moving. Which is a better way to tell? I put it right next to a wall 25 feet away in the dark but I really couldn't tell still. Plus it's not a straight line either. Since I have the perjecter lights their should be a cut off line right? Also is it like turning it right to make the light go right or left to go right, for the side adjustments?

Well one of the bulbs in my regular halogen housings went out, so I went and bought a pair and replaced the bulbs. Everything was great until I took a testdrive and noticed I was signalling MIR (or I guess the ISS this millenium) illuminating road signs very well, and the ground not so well...
View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Upgrading To HID Bi-Xenon (low And High Beam) And Aiming Headlight?
After months of researching and foruming, I made a satisfied decision to upgrade from Halogen to aftermarket HID Bi-Xenon which is really great in color and high visibility at night.
Moreover, behind Halogen headlight there is a 8mn bolt where you will use your hand or 8mn wrench (remove the black plastic cover over bumper to make more room). Twist it Clockwise to lower and Counter Clockwise to raise headlight.
I aimed mine relatively low because my intention is for a great looking light, high visibility and not blind on-coming traffic and yeah I'm so satisfied.
Touareg :: Headlight Alignment - Passenger Side Aiming A Little Low Compared To The Other
I think the light on the passenger side is aiming a little low compared to the other. Is it possible to change the aim vertically manually without going to the dealership?

So I finally got my car back after being repaired from the fender bender I was in, and I had to get a new right headlight but I just noticed that the beam pattern isn't right. I just picked up the car and brought it home so I'm not sure if this is a characteristic of a new headlight and bulb. I feel like they put in the wrong bulb or they didn't install it correctly?

Last night I noticed when I got out of the car my drivers side headlight was off while my passenger side light stayed on for about 20 more seconds.
At first I thought I just needed a new bulb, but tonight I saw both headlights are working when the car is on or when I turn the headlights on manually, but when I shut the car off the drivers side goes off immediately and the passenger side turns off in about 20 seconds.
I really like my auto-off after a little bit instead of it turning off immediately.
I haven't changed anything recently. Other than that I can't see any other problems. I swapped out my 08 headlights for 2014 headlights about a year ago and haven't had any problems.

Prior to me switching out the high beam bulbs, they were both aiming correctly. After I switched out the bulbs, both high beams are aiming up in trees literally. They arent even close to lighting up the street/pavement. I was wondering if I may have installed them somewhat cockeyed but I thought it was odd that I would have done both of them the same since they are both equally up in trees/same overall height.

I just got my IS350 F-sport which equipped with HID headlight for few days, but I have encountered a weird problem as every time I start the car the HID headlight never does a self-leveling job. It just never goes up and down and back to its original spot in which I have never encountered in my previous owned vehicles.

Recently lowered the car and can't adjust but notice that the headlights need to be raised up a little. I have searched Club Lexus high & low for a 'how-to' on here, but all that populates is the 2IS threads, or threads for the ES and GS models. I am looking for the 3IS 250/350 F-Sport headlights.

Like the title says I have some pretty bad condensation in my passenger side headlight, i have the LED headlamps. I'm bringing the car in for its 6 month service next week so the problem should be fixed then. I'm interested to see what happened, You'd expect headlights that cost over a thousand dollars a piece not to be having problems like this after only 6 months.

Tried to find how to adjust the headlight on 2014 IS250 since it was lowered on RSR Super Downs. Very hard to see anything up front with lights beaming down on the ground. I've tried to find it in the manual book, but it's not there. Found only DIY for 2nd GEN IS's. Seems like the 3IS is different from the previous GEN.

My father recently bought a used 2014 IS250. After washing the vehicle there was a significant amount of condensation (water) in the passenger side headlight. After visiting the dealership for window tints the dealership denied to fix it warranty due to the fact that it was involved in a accident with the previous owner which is completely understandable. I recently bought a replacement new oem headlight to replace it. Would it be too difficult to install myself, is it just plug and play?
