Default Aggravating headlights

I noticed that at night the adjustable headlights on the LS430 didn't project far enough up the road on dark country roads. I had to use the high-beam quite a bit.


Is there anyway to get the headlights to move up a bit?

its a very simple adjustment with a socket wrench - 10mm I believe.

Hint, you do not have to remove any parts off the car !!!!

The Owner's Manual shows an easier method to adjust the light beam up / down than the link above. Stu is correct, you don't need to remove any parts off the light assembly (as shown in that link).

The above link shows how to adjust BOTH the high and low beans at the same time.

The high and low beams can be adjusted independantly, but to do that some disassemby is required.

That's when you know it's time for a retrofit!
