Post subject: GS300 Headlamp Adjustment
Archived from groups: alt>autos>lexus (more info?)

I have a new (2006) GS300. The low-beam headlights seem to be adjusted too
low. On the highway, the beam hits the road about 30 feet away, and does
not illuminate much further out than that. If an animal started to cross
the highway ahead of me, I probably would not see it. Even the white lines
are not visible more than 30-50 feet ahead. I don't feel safe driving at
highway speeds with only low beams on.

The high beams work fine, but cause anybody coming the other way to flash
their lights -- even on a divided interstate.

The manual shows an adjustment for both verticl and horizontal aiming. The
dealer said that these were "AFS headlights" and not adjustable.

Which is correct? Is the adjustment something that I can do, or would a
dealer have to be persuaded to do it?

What are other peoples experiences with GS300 headlights?
