    Hey guys,

    I have figured out how to adjust the headlight level on the new Prius and just wanted to share with anyone that is either lazy to read the manual or can’t comprehend the complicated explanation that the manual provided.

    Thank you very much!!! The way the manual described is what turned me off from messing with it. I was just going to take to the dealer and let them sort out these headlights that are aiming at the ground. Was the difference in light after raising them up that significant? Did you use a measured distance from a flat wall when setting the heights, and if so what distance did you use?

    Hey there, i simply just faced it towards a wall and adjusted it that way, i didn't really measure it since i had a feeling of how much i needed to go down from driving the car very very frequently. The difference was very significant, the first time I did it, it was too bright since it was now sitting at the position of the stock highbeam, but I lowered it a little and you can definitely see much more than stock. Ever since the first day, I thought the lights were too low already, but I'm glad it helps you :)
