so my car is lowered on coilovers, its been lowered for about 5000kms so far.
i hit a bump on the road now my passenger headlight aims up higher than the drivers side
dealer said front sensor is bent and they wont fix it... does anyone have a pic of where this sensor is? so i can bend it back
thanks

Similar thing happened to me, except I drove over a crater sized HOLE on the freeway. It bumped my driver side headlight beam up in the air.
I'm ASSUMING you have factory HID w/ AFS.
So that night I was able to accidently get the headlight to re-adjust itself back. I went to visit a friend who lives on a VERY VERY steep incline. I was leaving his house at night, and as I approach the bottom of the incline, due to the angle of the car, the projector actually adjusted back to normal by itself.
SO, it's a YMMV, but maybe you can find a very steep incline, drive up it and drive back down VERY SLOWLY with headlights on. It might just knock it back.

Hey cant help you at work right now
But if you do a search on DYI spring install on the 2IS, you can find a few threads, and in the bigggest one, read through it, there are 3 diagrams of the sensor position, 2 pictures, and one official layout from Lexus. It helped me to make sure that I didnt have this prob when I got my spring installed.

they are bolted onto your control arm right behind the shock struts
If they aren't position like diagram above, then you've got issues
