maybe the auto-leveling computer is getting closed to the limit since car is not dropped evenly front and rear. if that's the case, all you need to do is just the auto-leveling sensor that's right by the wheel. if it's like other lexus, you should just need to adjust the one in the driver rear

Sounds like someone accidentally touched/moved the auto leveling sensor of your headlamps in the rear wheel well.
