2006 GS300 Headlight Adjustment

[Guest]

Hi all, I think I've searched all the past threads about adjusting the low beam headlights, but can't find the answers I need.

 

I too find my low beam falls way too short, so am trying to figure out how to adjust the beam vertically.

 

I've found the 2 wheels that are turned using a screwdriver - on each light, there's 1 near the radiator (I'll call it the inner) and 1 near the wheel arch (the outer). I can't figure out what to do with them though!

 

I've turned them both in both directions loads of turns, and nothing seems to happen.

 

So, my questions are:

 

What does the inner adjuster do, and what does the outer one do?

Do I need to adjust both to raise the beam?

What direction do I turn the screwdriver to raise the beam? As if I'm tightening the 'screw', or as if I'm loosening it?

 

All advice gratefully received, thanks in advance!

i am trying to find out how to adjust mine i have not found the adjusters tho but one thing i know the car should be running and the lights on as the beams will be  down  thats what ive been told

The quick and easy way to adjust the dip beam is to adjust the position of the link on the front N/S suspension. This can be got at with the wheels turned to full lefthand lock, and requires a 10mm spanner to slacken the adjuster nut.

Adjust the rod at the top by slackening the nut on the back of the ball joint and slide it downwards in the slot on the rotary mechanism.. Try about 1/4 inch movement to start with. See picture below.
