My wife and I just bought a 2004 RX 330 last month. We love it with the exception of the HID headlights. We have the same problem, when you're on an unlight road, the HID lights do not shine far enough down the road. Of course if no one is around we can use the high beams which are awesome. But, if there are cars in the distance, you can't turn the high beams on and therefore are stuck with limited visability.
I took it to the dealer today and the mechanic said that there was no adjustment for the headlights to angle them up farther. I would think that since they are auto leveling that there would have to be some kind of an adjustment to set the top limit of motion or something. Just doesn't make sense to me. If it could be angled up just a little bit it would help a lot and would still not be in drivers eyes.
With standard headlights, you can see the reflection off of signs as you go down the road. You can't see that with these lights unless you're right on top of the signs. My wife almost hit a dog the other day because it came from the left side of the road, which of course has an even shorter visability distance that the right side.
If anyone has any help in this area I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
