Auto Level Head;ights

[old93ra]

Anyone point me in the direction of someone to fix my headlights, they auto level but stay down too low.

Presumably the rear height sensor?

I'm near Guildford

Many thanks

Firstly, if it has a recent MOT, if the headlights were too low it would have failed so they may just be lower than you expect. They have to be accurately levelled with HIDs to avoid dazzle.

If something has happened since the MOT, I have seen this problem on this forum which turned out to be damage to the bracket holding the sensor - which if my memory is correct is near the rear axle. This site will help you locate it from the Service Manual:-

Could be the rear headlight levelling sensor as suggested. The sensor is fitted to a mounting plate just above the suspension arm inside the NSR wheel. The plate is quite thin and mine had simply cracked and snapped off leaving the sensor sitting on top of the suspension arm supported by the cable. I didn't have a warning light on the dashboard as you'd expect until I started fiddling with it. The replacement unit (sensor and mounting bracket) was about £300 from Lexus so I just took mine to a local garage and they welded the mounting bracket back together, which cost me a couple of pounds and the problem was fixed.
