A couple comments: first, I tried the 10mm socket method in the rear of the car which was supposed to be really easy and works great. It is actually more trouble than the proper method, and made only a very tiny difference.

The screwdriver under the hood is really easy and works unbelieveably well. Do what the owners manual and the PDF says, and adjust both screws on each side. Turn your screwdriver COUNTERCLOCKWISE which turns the adjustment bolt clockwise and raises the headlights. Remember to do both adjustments on each side. You'll need an 8" philips screwdriver and a little "feel" and faith because you can't see into the hole to turn the hidden adjustment screw. But you'll feel it turning.

I turned the adjustment gear 2 full turns on each side (which is 10 turns of the screwdriver) and it made a very noticeable difference. Good luck.

 

are there adjustments to make the lights go left and right? It seems to me that my lights mite be spread out, could just be in my head??

 

Would this only apply to those with factory hid? Or can I also adjust the stock halogens?

 

hello!

sorry to ask this but i'm driving a 06 - is250 right hand drive and the placement of the 2 adjustments nuts are found but may i ask how do i locate the other 2 adjustment parts?

Is there any possible way that you take a picture of all the placement of all 4 adjustment nuts?

i have tried to read from the pdf but i still cant find the one that is for horizontal adjustments. btw, i have lost my owner manual.

i am new in adjusting such things. Sorry once again to ask for the help from all of you guys.

 

Do you have the HID lights or halogen? I have halogens, and I took apart my headlights and everything, and I failed to find a horizontal aim. I'm pretty sure only HIDs have the horizontal ones.

 

hello!

yes i do have HID with AFS as mine was luxury package with ML sound system. i did lowered my car before but it was all done by the car shop.

btw, i have noticed that only my left side headlights will move when my car is started whereas my right side stays stagnant. How do i resolve this?

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!

 

does the car have to be on for the adjustment to work?

also i have a LS460 does this adjustment work on my car as well? turn counter clockwise to raise the headlights?

 

Well....the headlights have to be on so you know how much you're raising them or lowering them by....

 

where is the afs fuse near the dash located?

 

I tried adjusting My HID's leveling sensor and I got the HID to point super high and far lol it actually works really great except what I wonder s am I high beaming people now? lol maybe I should switch it back

 

hey so i can't seem to find any hole to insert the screw? i have projectors no hid! found the gear but no hole. any help

 

anyone bump?

 

The U shaped notch in the black plastic at the top is the hole. If you insert the proper sized Philips screwdriver in it, the gears will match up with the indents on the Philips screwdriver tip.

 

sorry i had to bring this back, I realized the 2012/2013 IS headlight can NOT adjust horizontal.

 

After replacing a water damaged headlight assembly on my 2007 IS250 with HID and AFS - I needed to adjust the lamp. I read posts on this forum and others but really wasn't sure what those bolts were doing. So, at my peril, I dremeled into my old headlight assembly so I could see how it worked.
