Default Headlight adjustments 2015 ES350

My headlights are low on the 2015 CPO ES350 which I recently purchased.
Does anyone know where the vertical headlight adjust on the 2015 ES350 is located?

thanks,
Charlie

There have been, in the past, a few threads about ES headlight adjustment.

I recall, from those threads, that the location of the adjustment screws varies depending on which headlight option you have on your car (and the model year).

So, any replies will be more meaningful if you tell us which headlights are on your car (and if those who reply have the same headlights).

From the rear of the housing between the high and low beams, slightly above center.
To prevent movement of the adjusting screw while driving, the last turn you make must
be clockwise. It that is too far, back it off and make your last turn clockwise.

Be a friend and do not over do this, I do not want to know it is you coming at me because
of the blinding lights of your car!

If you drove my car you’d agree the low beams are too low. I’m just trying to get things back to factory specs.
My headlight version is “HID headlamps with DRL” as stated on the original window sticker.

Ok I made a small adjustment. Will try it tonight and make sure I’m not beaming skyward searching for aliens.

And don’t bother with a flat blade screwdriver. Much easier with an 8mm socket and handle.

Smartly worded! Too often we hear, "on my ES the screw is located......."

Here are two other threads that deal with headlight adjustment. You may find the information useful, but, again, some of the information may pertain to headlight options different from what is on your car.
