LX headlight aim

[TTownEP]

I just got a 2011 LX today (been lurking here for a while though ) and the driver-side beam is badly aimed upward. I have the main owner’s manual, but I guess I am missing the service supplement. I see a pair of white plastic hex screws at the top rear of the housing, but I am scared to start twirling them and mess up the AFS. What’s the correct procedure?
Googling and searching here hasn’t been fruitful.

Congrats on the new LX! I adjusted my lights and it was pretty easy. But I forgot where I saw which screws to adjust. If you're adjusting the correct screws, it shouldn't affect the AFS.

Using these holes and a phillips screwdriver

That's not how I adjusted mine, my adjustment was on the back of the headlight assembly, on the driver site (US), I had to move the battery a bit to have enough room.

I don’t have those markings on the engine shroud, VooDoo.

there are no screws there under those holes where you have them, so that’s out.

Is it these hex screws here?

 

[paulunm]

Yes, those are them.

Appologies. Previous pics are for Landcruiser

This is for Lexus

I ended up turning the adjustment too far. Popped the auto-leveling motor’s ball out of the socket and had to remove the front end to get the headlight out. I was luckily able to pull the motor out, pop it back into place, and reinsert the motor. Now I am waiting for dark so I can go adjust them again before I put the front end back together.
If anyone is looking at this later, please note that the center hex socket is empty and turning any one of the three turns both adjustment screws simultaneously like the sticker asks you to do. Each socket has a gear on it and they are all meshed together. It looks like there is one more adjustment over on the fender side but I will have to wait until dark to see what it moves.
I still haven’t had any luck finding out the factory procedure for this.

Side note, the low and high beam are linked. When I brought the low beam down, the high beam went up where it was supposed to go. Easy peasy.
