I see how it works now. There’s no screw down there to do the adjustment, instead there’s a gear where the edges of a Philips screwdriver fit and turn a gear. It helps if you push forward on the screwdriver while you turn it so fits against the gear. I raised my headlights about 2-3 inches so they should be better now 🤓.

Anyways, I had MusicBoxTommy adjust my headlights while he was helping me install my RSR lowering springs. He raised it about a total of an inch and a half. Its okay given my car sits lower now as well. I dont want to blind anyone lol

You tube reviewer Prime Automotive did a while review on the triple beam IS 350 and shows in detail and refers to the IIHS docs too.
It starts around the 8 min mark

the LED's on my 2014 IS350 were a joke. sad to hear the triple beams arent that better. the Xenons on my 07RX and 08 TSX are still champs. my 17 MDX's LED Jewel eyes are pretty excellent though.

Time to necro this thread...
I finally got around to adjusting my lights. They're about 24.75" across when I pull up to my garage door. It helped a bit, but they're still the suckiest LEDs I've had in a Lexus.
Is there any way to get rid of the dip on the driver side? It is a massive dark spot right in my direct line of sight and I hate it.

I marked the circular adjustment wheel and did a 1/4th turn to move the headlights up and it made a huge difference.
No one has flashed their high beams at me yet either so it's perfect height.

Yeah that's what the guy said in the video above, but it's stupid. Why give the driver a huge dark spot in a low car so you run **** over, but all the other drivers are safe!
I dunno, I'm just frustrated. The ES had LEDs that we're 100x better. Even our 8 year old RX has lights that blow this car out of the water. And of course the LS lights are excellent. To get an "acceptable" rating or whatever he said is absolutely pathetic on a premium added option.

Those are cool and all, but all the older cars I've had are better (ES, LS, and RX). If the ES lights are legal, they should be legal in the IS too.

Our triples seem like form over function. The factory aim on these lights is terrible, and the fact that they were designed with a sharp cutoff doesn't help; the projector-style headlamps on other models (HID or LED) have a soft cutoff so you still get diffuse light further down the road while not blinding other drivers. I had to adjust the left-to-right on my passenger headlight because from the factory, the beam was crossing over practically the entire opposing lane of traffic; no wonder I was getting high beamed by other drivers constantly. After I adjusted it a few ticks toward the passenger side of the car, I was able to raise it a bit to better cover my lane of travel and not get high beamed by others. It worked out ok so far, but it's far from ideal; they could have been better aimed from the factory, let alone designed better. It's a shame because they look really nice, but the standard single projector is far better from a functional point of view.
I finally said screw it snd raised them 2 full rotations lol they might need to come down a bit, but they point really far down the road now. Nobody flashed me yet, but they reflect off traffic signs at a distance so I think I need to lower then to not hit signs.

How do you adjust them left to right? I only found up and down.
