Sc430 Headlamp Alignment

[McLean]

Recently replaced my 2002 model with a 2005 one :) . With the evenings drawing in I've had a few oncoming cars flash to indicate they thought I was on main beam - though I was actually on dipped.

Lexus dealer says all within spec but I'd like to lower the offside dipped beam a tad.

There isn't much room behind the SC430 headlamp unit for access so is this do-able yourself? Or do I just go back to the dealer???

Cheers.

05 model is a good one!

Have not tried this. Here is the offical Lexus aim document.

Are you sure its not the old headlight moving up and down due to the pot failing?

Cheers

Thanks Paul - sorted!

Don't know why, but it was set towards the end of it's maximum vertical adjustment.

Previous owner must have been irritating significant numbers of oncoming drivers - or only using the car in daylight
