Passenger headlight too high
This may have been posted before, but I think my case is a bit extreme. I was in my Mom's RX350 and my wife was driving the 250AWD the other night, and when I looked in the rear view, I was blinded by my passenger headlight. This cannot be right. Then when I got into the car, the light was shining on people houses and stuff driving through residential. I didn't think it was that bad, but apparently it is. Sitting higher up in an RX, I shouldn't be blinded by the IS.
Can anyone had success adjusting it, or should I just have the dealer look into it? I read somewhere the passenger is aimed a little higher, but man it seemed extreme.
Any thoughts?

There are several threads on here about headlight aiming. Do a quick search and you'll find them.
Passenger headlight is by design aimed higher than the drivers side from the shield inside the lamp. When aiming them though, you will set them both evenly....the shield will take care of the rest.

you can try to lower both sides evenly, if you want. Just take a screwdriver and turn the little **** above each headlight a certain way (forgot which direction). Cover one headlight as you do this. At 25 feet, the top of your cutoff should be 1.5-2 inches or so below the height from the ground to the center of your headlight.
