Anyway, as long as they're turning they're good. If what you're saying is that it barely moves at all turning right, then you might have to get it looked at.

That's correct. The headlamps turn left more than they turn right. The angles are different, I think 15 degrees right and only 5 degrees right. I think it's because in terms of vision, you need a more angles pivot when turning left because we drive on the left, whereas the right side you have the whole open windshield and better visibility.

Invest in a new pair if you've never changed them before. You should notice an increase in visibility. Because older HID's loose lumens when they age.
The LS430 comes with an extended life D2S HID, these are extremely reliable and age for a good period of time. That's why you only see fellas changing them 10 years later when they flicker.

That is a symptom that your HID is going bye bye.

The OEM hid's are OSRAM I believe. It depends on the color you want, around ~5k you'll have a pure white output, anything above that you'll start to get a blue tinge, which i love.
I honestly love my "Phillips Ultinon's", they're the best blue tinged hid's with the least compromise of light output.
And on the amazing LS430 projectors these bad boys just shine!
I got'em from TRS, because you can rarely find someone selling the genuine original ones. But TRS is a trusty place to buy them at.

I just replaced mine b/c I noticed they weren't quite as bright as I remember once I had my headlight lenses cleaned. They were 11 years old so it was getting to be time. The original lights are Philips. There are a TONNN of counterfeit bulbs around. The only place I found that has the OEM D2S bulbs was Amazon...with the hologram and all. And not from 3rd party Amazon vendors...only from Amazon directly. Here is the box you are looking for:
