I've been flashed while I was on a slight incline from someone across the intersection... Needless to say, the surprise on their faces when I flashed back with my high beams. Otherwise it's about once every few weeks someone flashes me, and I always flash back to show I'm not "that guy."

Yes, I've had three different cars flash their Hi-Beams at me.

I have the triple beam and the actual light output is poor compared to my BMWs led lights or the Porsches side by side. Actually the lexus triple beam is one of the more dim I've seen. Disappointing. Lexus can't get headlights right.
How did you change the height of the LED. I can find a notation on the top of the LED plastic that's marked 'U' and 'D' but can't see the adjustment screw

If you visit the Lexus NX Enthusiasts group on Facebook, a guy there wrote how to adjust your headlights and he posted photos. Go to Facebook and search "Lexus NX Enthusiasts". Once you are on that group's page, enter the search word, "headlights" in the "Search this group" box.

Thanks NXOwner for the info. I was curious myself on how to adjust those headlights.

The Triple beam LEDs are by far the best headlamps on any car I've driven. I don't recall being flashed by oncoming traffic.

The turn beam indicator is also really bright/strong. I'll be waiting at a light, behind 5 cars and the turn signal will hit the signs mounted on the traffic signal poles.

Is it just me, or does anyone elese find that the triple LED doesnt seem to aligned well, eventhough it is alligned?

at different angle of approach each of the headlight seem to be at different level e.g driver light appears slightly higher than passenger at front on approach however as you move sideways the passenger than appears higher? this continue at different angle of approach and it is difficult to find focus point where both light are consistent (except when you perfectly standing right infron of the vehicle at 7 feet+

In other words, cant seem to see a consistency of allignment between the headlights compare to normal projector lights (where they seem to be aligned at all angle)

Would love to hear from other triple LED headlights owner - advise you to bend down and take a look to see what I mean.

The regular (low beam) headlights on the NX are LEDs, not HIDs. The same for the DRLs and front directional signals.

Because each side has 3 projectors, total of 6, there is a different alignment pattern than regular projectors. Technically there are 6 beam patterns making it look a bit strange. It still has a proper beam though.

One thing I found out is that the LEDs on the NX aren't as bright as the ones on a BMW. I was next to a BWM with LED lights and they looked brighter.

Another thing I found was that last week, it was raining and I started the car at 5:30 AM on the way to work and I thought I was on high beam. I wasn't. What happened was all the water droplets on the headlights were spraying the light everywhere so there was no sharp cut off beam.
