Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Headlight Aim / Vertical And Horizontal Adjustment
Dec 25, 2013
My headlight aim is all out of whack, the driver side light is aiming all the way to the passenger side. I searched the forums and know where the screws are for the vertical and horizontal adjustments. Counter clockwise for making the headlights go up and you're suppose to go the same direction on the horizontal adjustment as well. But my driver side headlight is aiming so far towards the passenger side already,I need to get the horizontal adjustment back to the left, which direction to turn? Clockwise or Counter?

I am trying to adjust the vertical (up) AFS headlight aim on my 2010 RX 350. They currently point too low and do not illuminate the roads well enough at night. Note that the vehicle has the AFS HID headlights that are located next to the front grill.
The owner's manual provides do-it-yourself (DIY) instructions. Electronic version may be linked here: [URL] .....
I found adjustment bolt A elsewhere. Adjustment bolt B was found as illustrated.
Following these instructions on p. 512, I have tried adjusting the two silver bolts for the left and right AFS headlights by manually turning each pair of bolts on both sides with my fingers rather than a Phillips screwdriver, but no effort appears to affect the AFS headlight aim either vertically or horizontally.
The instructions also recommend taking the vehicle into the dealer if the headlights cannot be adjusted this way.

As the title states, ASF Off started to flash on my '07 RX, it started out of the blue with no touching of anything on the car.
I still see both horizontal and vertical movement at start-up initialization, but I'm not sure if the vertical goes as high as before.
What's the proper way to trouble shoot this issue? I'm hoping it's just the sensor at the back of the car that maybe got "lose" during the salty winter driving.

Does 2008 Santa Fe have horizontal lowbeam aim adjustment? After driving my Dad's Santa Fe, I notice the low beam casts a U-shape light pattern on the ground, makes it extremely hard to see what's on the ground right in front of the car. I've attached a picture of what it looks like driving it at night.

I'm trying to aim the headlights on my gf's car, but both adjustment screws are only allowing vertical adjustment. I cannot get it to move horizontally. Is there a hidden screw or something?

My headlights seem to be off. The beams are spread too far apart, leaving a dark spot right in the middle. It is a 2016 and I just noticed it tonight. I have been trying to find the horizontal adjustment. Is this it? I have tried to turn it but did not notice any difference. Which way am I suppose to turn the left and right one to have the beams move closer to each other?

I recently purchased a 2014 xle plus. The passenger seat is VERY low and there is no vertical adjustment control. Is there any way the seat can be raised. My wife is 5' 1" and cannot see over the dashboard.

I'm having trouble with the seat adjustment (12-way) on the drivers seat of my 2005 V6. Basically the front vertical adjustment of the drivers seat doesn't move upwards - maybe a cm at most. The back of the seat moves up and down fully, but the front doesn't, so it feels like the seat is tipped forward... When I try to adjust the front upwards I get loads of whirring and clicking, but no movement.

I have recently purchased a 2006 V6 diesel with only 20,000 miles! Best car I ever had! I am driving it in France in August and want to know how to adjust the headlights (the bi-xeon), as nothing in manual. I am assuming there are some levers, screws to adjust behind lights?

I just put in a new headlight for my 08 600hl. My issue is the head light is pointed downwards. Is there a thread that shows how to adjust the headlight.

Recently lowered the car and can't adjust but notice that the headlights need to be raised up a little. I have searched Club Lexus high & low for a 'how-to' on here, but all that populates is the 2IS threads, or threads for the ES and GS models. I am looking for the 3IS 250/350 F-Sport headlights.

Just looking for the correction direction for the HID headlight asm. Do you turn the screwdriver clockwise to raise the headlights?

For those lowered, how did you go about getting the beam height back to stock spec?

Tried to find how to adjust the headlight on 2014 IS250 since it was lowered on RSR Super Downs. Very hard to see anything up front with lights beaming down on the ground. I've tried to find it in the manual book, but it's not there. Found only DIY for 2nd GEN IS's. Seems like the 3IS is different from the previous GEN.

How to adjust the trunk alignment on a GS?
My 2007, is out a little, with the RHS top edge raised around an 1/8th more than the left which is flush.
Is this a dealer only fix, or is it something that I can do?

I took my car in for some wiring work on the headlights and when I got it back the aims were completely off and are currently so low that it isn't safe for me to drive at night. I spent last night searching for the screw to level out the cut off but had no luck finding one.

I replaced some TYC OEM headlights on my car with stock OEM Hella headlights and cleaned up the lenses really nice.
Once installed, I went to adjust the headlights to find out that the passenger outer adjustment just spins.
This is the one in the photo:
I am not too sure if I can fix this. The little wheel doesn't seem like it can be removed and it has some back and forth play on it.
Need to successfully repaired headlight adjustment?

I have a 2006 GX470. It has some sort of automatic rear suspension height adjustment. When it is malfunctioning the rear of the car is jacked up like I have pimped it out. I use the height adjustment button but when I resume driving the car moves back into the neutral position which is not neutral at all it is jacked to the top. I had the sensors replaced once for $1,000 but within a year it was doing the same thing.
Now the light flashes to lower the back end but the back end doesn't move. I am stuck in the jacked up mode.

This morning opn my way to work, ny nav screen suddenly developed quarter inch vertical lines in my screen. Apparently this can be a navigation software issue. The screen itself is fine, as I can bring up other screens onto the display. Just not nav, audio and I forget which others. The "Disp" screen and the "menu" screens come up no problem.
I haven't checked fuses yet, but this seems a little coincidental that it started a few days after installing my ivic-d module.

I suspect that I already know the answer but will ask anyway. In another lifetime I could adjust the headlights on my car (two spring-loaded screws on each bulb for up-down and side-side adjustment).
The low beam on my 2010 Camry seems to run out at about 30 yards. Some night I am going out and actually measure it. High beam has no problem as it goes forever. It just seems that the low beam does not allow me to see very far down the road. I have not asked the dealer yet and thought I would ask here first. Is there a way to adjust the headlights on these new cars with the total headlight system in one big package?

I had a low beam bulb go out a month ago on the driver side. I bought some silvania silverstars to install on both sides. The drivers side went fine but as I installed the passenger side the inside reflector housing came loose, apparently popping off some spring clips inside the headlight housing. The passenger side headlight assembly now pointed towards the ground 10 feet in front of the car... I tried to adjust the screws to bring the light pattern back up. No joy.
Anyway I messed and messed trying to get the reflector housing to fit back on the spring clips. I ended up having to pull the bumper apart and the whole front side of the car to totally remove the headlight assembly. Once I got it out I found these little ball/socket spring clips and was able to put the assembly back together.
Now my issue is I have lost track of the adjustment screws and where the headlights should point. Any formula such as, "park your car 10ft from the garage door on the flat level. The low beam should be 30 inches off the ground on the bottom and the 40 inches at the top. The beam should be 50 inches from the center line of the car" Something like that so that I can get my headlights back to factory settings.
