Was it that your adjustments were missing? Or just not working when you turned them?

Either way nice to hear you're getting replacements.

The replacement lights were installed today. Now I have the same issue with the opposite light! Just my luck.. the driver side light was adjustable and was able to raise but the left won’t go up. Not sure what to do. I really like the lights but at this point I’m ready to just go back to stock.

Any condensation with these lights? Otherwise they look nice and give the car a refreshed look

My friend had these lights for his GS350. The 1st set had a problem with one side and would not turn on. The other side that worked was pointing down and would not adjust the light beam. The seller sent him something to do to rewire and he spoke with a member here who had problems and they told him what to do. It still did not work. He was sent a 2nd set after the Seller was ignoring him and not responding back. That set had problems also.

He filed with PayPal for a refund, and they jerked him around for months. He finally filed with his credit card company, and they refunded him and filed a dispute. After he filed with his CC company all of a sudden paypal and the seller were trying to contact him to work something out. I told him to ignore them being the CC company refunded and closed the case. They told him to keep the lights. He still has them, but they don't work. I have a feeling many others that have these lights are also having adjustment problems and others just maybe don't know they are pointing down.

I won’t get them because they don't have the following capabilities my Lux option has. I have the Factory Triple Beams from the 450h just have not installed them yet. I like those diamond ones but when the seller told him to rewire something inside. We saw the internals and boards, and they were some cheap crap inside. I worry about the LED's and how long they will last, and what would you do if they go out? Just saying. I do really like those lights on the white GS's they look really good on the White cars.

that's unfortunate. Hopefully you can get these issues sorted out somehow cuz the lights looks really good on the car.
this alibaba link is the only one I found with some reviews on it. I think I'll give them a try

@Charcos916 they make 2 models of these lights.. (see left and right below)

I believe the lights in the ad you posted are on the left and I'm not 100% but I think the lights you have installed are on the right

The ones on the left look like an "L" under each lamp. Can you check and confirm? If I'm wrong I'll delete this post!

Yep op here got a different headlight, the one on the left is good quality. Can't say the same about the one on the right, looks kinda funny to me also.

These lights in this thread are for the 13-15 only. For the 16+ you need a different Factory light. Unless you see a 16+ aftermarket one?

16+ Lights in link below.

I installed the set on the left. Decent quality, not OEM level quality by any means though. One of the lights came with a broken DRL/Turn Signal and the seller jerked me around for months, even asking for additional money to get a replacement. It turns out a wire came loose during shipment and I was able to plug it back in using tweezers. Kept my OEM ones just in case these don't last a long time.
