RA080623

Well just got the 04 RX330 home the other day and I must say I love the vehicle. Too bad it's my wifes.

I did get to drive it tonight and noticed that the passenger side headlight seems to be a bit higher than the drivers side. You can see the difference down a dark road. The passengers side goes a bit further (maybe 1-2 feet I guess).

Is this normal or should the projection be identical for both sides and if so, can I adjust them or do I get the dealer to adjust them?

Thanks

If you were going in a straight road then I would say you have a problem. You can adjust your projectors(HID) accordingly. You will need a screwdriver and a place to aim your headlights to see.

Yup - going down a straight road, the left side of the road does not reach as far as my lane does. I thought this might have been by design.

I'll do a search on where to adjust my headlights. Had to do this with my Tundra.

The driver is suppose to be lower so you dont blind the on-coming traffic.

I had both HID adjusted at the dealer. It was aiming too low. Got it fixed at no charge. I read somewhere online that this was a complaint to NTSA.

I guess the dealer is aware of it and fixed it.

That's what I thought... So just to re-cap since I think I got the wrong impression earlier in the thread.

The drivers side beam hits the ground lower than the passenger's side? Again - so other drivers are not hit with the light.

If this is the case - then my lights are aimed properly.

Yes they are aimed properly, but Lexus always aim their lights on the low side of the NTSA's specs. Legally, you can aim both light to the highest point of the spec and you will be able to light up the road further at night.
