ajfinoak Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I realize the topic of the aiming of the headlights has been discussed and a previous poster tells how one can try it themselves. I have an '01 Acura with HID's that light the road much better but do not swivel and had an '06 325i which also lit the road better and swivled much more. I understand that the Lexus IS swivel is much less but in reading the ES 350 posts it looks like some dealers have adjusted the height of the lights. Has anyone had any luck with getting the dealer to aim the lights higher (I live in the SF Bay Area)? It looks to me like they could be higher without it becoming a safety issue as Acura and BMW have much better night vision. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 They probably are aimed low. I had the dealer adjust mine to spec with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightshade Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 They come pretty low from the factory from everything I've seen/read- I asked my dealer to adjust them higher- they stated they are "within factory spec" and refused to do it, so I'll just to do myself when I get some time... it just takes removing a couple engine covers and a screwdriver anyway...

Manolo1 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 My dealer adjusted them at no charge...and I am sure they were within spec, but a tad too low...big difference one mm can do 100 yards in front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured out how to adjust them yet? Can someone with knowledge of this post some pictures and instructions? I've asked my Dealership in the Houston area to adjust but they claimed it's already to factory specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
