Wow, well this is the first headlight adjusting thread I have read and Im glad I did! I have always wondered wtf was wrong with our headlights and why I practically had to lay on the ground just to get them shined right in my eyes to gauge the color of light. So yea I will probably be adjusting these today sometime and Ill try and take some pics of the holes if I can find them for all those that are having trouble finding the hole (no pun intended) lol.
I just know this is going to make me want my 5000K bulbs even more now!

When I went in for my 5K oil change, I asked the dealership (Pleasanton, CA) to check and hopefully adjust the headlights as I thought they were pointed too low. When I picked up my car, the work report simply stated that the "headlights did not need adjustment" -no other explanation.
I recently went in for the brake dust TSIB and 10K oil change and decided to try another dealership (Magnussens, Fremont, CA). I again stated that the headlights were aimed too low. This time, the dealership reported that they compared my headlights to other IS' on the lot and that mine were the same, so again, no adjustment.
It seems interesting that so many owners have apparently arrived at the "erroneous" conclusion that the headlights are aimed too low from the factory. I guess this could be the case, but regardless, looks like I will have to make the change myself...![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

I'm still pretty sure you can do this without a lot of gyrations just by changing the AFS sensor position on the rear suspension. I'm going to play with it a little to be sure, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't raise and lower the headlights without any other adjustments at all.
