04 ES330 Aiming Headlights
#3
There are two bolts. I'll check my car for the location. The picture in the manual shows them next to each other. I will get back with you after I look at my car, get a better view.

I saw that diagram earlier and it doesn't apply to halogen headlamps. That diagram is for cars equipped with OEM HID. I ended up taking out the entire headlamp assembly (a real PITA by the way) and there is only one screw to adjust the headlamps. The halogen assemblies only have the visible 8mm screw to adjust the headlamps although I was not able to change it even after messing with it for a couple of hours.

Headlight beam adjustment
First of all the adjustment hole and teeth that should allow a screwdriver to adjust..simply didnt work worth a darn on my 2004 es330. I found it easier to use a larger size (sorry dont have size info) allen wrench to insert into the back of the wheels and adjust clockwise to raise the beam. It seems to adjust very slowly and takes alot of turns to make big changes but it works. Its not too hard to judge about where you want it and test it out w a quick drive around the block. Of course counter clockwise lowers the beam. Shine it on ur garage door and put tape across midline horizontally so u know where it started from. An inch or two has big effect so dont go crazy.
