GS300 Headlamp Adjustment

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 owner's 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?

I would suspect that the adaptive front lighting system ((AFS) are not
user-adjustable.

That said, the dealer should be able to determine whether the headlights are
properly aimed or not.
