2020 Toyota highlander headlight adjustment 

I thought I was the only one having this problem. I felt dumb actually thinking my high beams were on. I get flashed everyday! I will be calling my Toyota services for an adjustment!

Thanks, worked great on my 2023 Highlander hybrid...

Your timing was perfect. You posted this video 16 hours ago and I just came in from trying to adjust my 2022 Highlanders XLE (gas engine) headlights down lower. My first night trip I made in this car I had no fewer than 6 drivers flash their headlights at me in 5 miles of travel, and yes I was in low beam mode and the automatic high beam control was definitely turned off. I spent way too much time outside just now TRYING to find the 3 adjustments that the manual talks about. The manual says that there are 2 adjustments for up/down and 1 adjustment for right/left and there is even a guide on the plastic trim under the hood telling you which adjustments perform which function. I only found the one adjustment that you changed and successfully lowered the driver's side headlight about 1 1/2 inches measured about 25 feet from my car. I am leaving the passenger side unchanged at this point as things I have read say that should be a bit higher than the driver's side. They were even across when I started. It was good to hear another opinion saying that there is 1 adjustment and not 3 adjustments. Thank you so much!

Thanks for showing me where the adjuster was. I was able to turn the star adjuster easily by hand with no screw driver.

Going to perform this asap as I have been flashed at constantly, hopefully this will help prevent a road rage incident 😂😂

Omg. Somehow this came on my recommendation since I’m having experiencing this issue.

Just a note, on the 2022 its a riveting wheel that spins using a flat screwdriver

Great video brotha! Thank you

Thank you for this, really appreciate it! I have a 2021 Highlander hybrid, and I’m constantly getting flashed by oncoming drivers, while I have my low beams on. I called the dealership and they said there was nothing they can do about it. Service advisor just said to try lower powered bulbs. Are you saying there is an adjustment in the 2021 Highlander? I feel like I’m going to get into a road rage incident with somebody that is mad about me blinding them!

Thanks for this video i have a 2021 xle and i get flashed all the time. I will be behind some one and my lights will be shining directly into there car but toyota says there is nothing wrong

Hello, I have a couple of questions. First of all, looking at the "whiteness" of the light I am guessing these low beams are LED bulbs? Secondly, I have a 2017 XLE non hybrid and my low beams are Projector style halogen and the amount of light is pretty pathetic ( I have newer Toyota bought bulbs that are less than a year old ) On a very dark night with a little to a lot of rain the light appears to not even be on, without rain on a "non cloudy night" they are adequate. I am wondering if the LED low beams stock on your Highlander are what is causing people to flash their high beams at you? If so, is there adjustment "for "side to side"? I still think a lot of people will flash their high beams even if the light is adjusted though as many consider LEDs a scourge of humanity. On my 2017 like I said the low beams suck and are pretty much dangerous even with new bulbs ( the light was noticeably better when I put in the new Toyota bought low beams halogens but still inadequate and now les than a year later they are just as bad as the 4 year old original bulbs I replaced. I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to an LED bulb for low beam. I have noticed that the light pattern of my current low beams has a fairly large amount of the stronger light about 3-4 feet into the opposing lane. I know that when using LEDs in a 2017 projector low beam headlight you must get a LED bulb that doesn't have a fairly large heat sink on the end as the hole for the bulb is off center inside the dust cover and that won't fit back on with a "larger heat sink". I believe that the current adjustment of the low beam pattern will put a stronger "whiter" light beam into the first 3 feet of so of the opposing lane, so I would need to adjust the beam side to side about 2 feet at 50 feet distance.

Is it possible to adjust left and right in addition to lowering it? Thanks!

I know this sounds dumb lol but I thought you would lower the lights to avoid blinding people instead of lifting them higher..am I missing something here?? Should I turn mine left to lower them?

I’m always afraid I’d get pulled over because my highlanders headlight literally looks like high beam when it’s not. I was following behind my brother-in-law and he thought I was on high beam(which I’m not). But like, it’s the default setting from Toyota, I didn’t make any adjustment so I honestly don’t have anything to do with this 😂

Had to go to a v6 none hybrid so I cam pull my small 15 foot trailer. Damn hybrid lost so much power after a year pulling it never pulls with a hybrid

I’m raising my headlights mines are to low

Lol dude get to the point. I don't need 1/3 of the video to be a disclaimer. Also can't see shh about what you're talking about in the dark.
