I understand that the models with HIDs have a ride height sensor to adjust the height of the low beam.
Is there a facility to trim the ride height sensor (as in adjust its position through hardware or software) so that the low beam points a little higher than normal?
I drive a lot in the darkness and I find that the low beam is somewhat too low and doesn't illuminate as far as I want it to.

These threads may help and the first one covers adjusting the suspension leveler https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ams-on-rx.html

It always helps to tell us the year and mileage on your vehicle.

It's a 2014 with 60k miles. Thanks for those links. I couldn't find those with the search feature.

I read the owners manual, but I think the illustration is wrong.

Please see the picture below, it's the right headlight viewed from the top.

The silver label says a blurb about headlight adjustment and turning screws.

The only screws I can see nearby that label are the two that I have pointed to with red arrows.

Are these the screws I should be turning? I know it sounds like a dumb question......but those screws seem quite small for adjustment screws and they seem more like screws to hold together plastic trim on the headlight assembly.

Where are the screws on this 2014 Lexus RX 350 with HID and auto-level function.

Update: I found the adjusting screws and was able to adjust the headlights. There is one screw for each light assembly, and I was able to adjust the HID low beam. I couldn't find a screw for the highbeam, maybe there's none?

I'll post a picture of the screw location here later so it may benefit others.

Would greatly appreciate some pics! Looking to do this on mine as well..

Thanks!

Below is a top-down picture taken from above the right side of the hood area (when you're standing in front of the car, i.e. the left headlight when you're sitting in the car) with the beauty cover removed.

Please look at the red circled area. In there is an opening with 3 sides outlined in green.

You're supposed to take a long Philips screwdriver and pass it into the passage and turn the metal thing by getting the side of the Philips head to mesh with that metal gear wheel.

-Turning the Philips head clockwise will raise the low-beam assembly

-Turning the Philips head counter-clockwise will lower the low-beam assembly

It'll make sense when you take a look at the area.

As for the other headlight assembly, there's the same thing. I don't have a picture of it, but you'll be able to find and make sense of it if you do the one depicted below. You'll have to undo the washer fluid reservoir head (10mm bolt) and shove it aside to comfortably able to get a screwdriver into this side's adjustment screw).



I hope this post helps those who have never done this kind of thing before and are baffled by the pictures in the user manual.


Have a couple of Philips head sizes handy. I didn't note what size Philips head I used, but don't use one that's too small and wreck the adjustment screw. Take your time with this. Spraying a little lithium grease spray around screw might be beneficial.
