Headlights help!
I recently got coilers installed, and tonight was the first time that i drove at night with them on. My headlights are point down and is not getting the distance that it use to have, can someone tell me how to adjust(preferably with pictures or videos) my headlight so that they are pointing more upwards? I thought I've seen a thread on how to do it but i can't find it anymore. I drive a 2014 is250

I had no idea you can adjust them this way...
This is how I did it:
Park car on level ground in front of a wall
Open the hood
Look behind each headlight, there will be a dial(The dial has triangular angles) that is visible when looking from above. The dial itself is in a pretty tight spot, you may also use a socket wrench but I found a screwdriver to be the easiest.
Use a long flathead screwdriver and turn the dial right for higher, left for lower...
Not sure if this method will cause any issues, but i've had it like this for a while and it's been a-okay.
Hope it helps.

There is no exact number of turns. Just got to find a flat parking lot and aim your headlights at a wall. Turn until they both look like they are pointing straight across. And even on both left and right side.

This should be a sticky of some sort lol. It's so easy to do that lowered IS should do immediately.

when i lowered my car, my lights leveled by themselves. I have the LED's, got my car back and turned it on, and the lights leveled themselves. didnt know the LED's headlights did that

The LEDs do not have auto leveling. The HIDs do I believe, but not the LEDs. This has been a common discussion and misconception that LEDs have auto leveling. Hence why there is a thread for LED owners to manually adjust it themselves.

When I first put my headlights on after lowering on RSR downs I was up against my garage and physically watched the headlights adjust (2015 with LED headlights). Ever since, they do not do it. Now I'm not saying they have that feature or not as I'm not positive but I can say I did witness them adjusting
