Yea the right headlight looks dead on, but the left ones look like they are listed downwards.

Sad that’s what I think as well. I will be taking it back tomorrow, unfortunately. But I will say it turned out great and looks brand new.
GL man. Yeah, the panel and especially paint is the most difficult part to match and fix, so glad to hear that part went well. You're on the home stretch! :flame:

Can't believe he walked away from that Supra. One lucky guy, cuz that's one you would think no one would walk away from.

Agreed. Paint may look a bit mis matched under the right light conditions, it's just a reality of how it all comes together out the factory versus paint shop. Key is to not look too hard or think about it lol

Not a Corvette.
This was actually a month ago and just go to posting it. Got car back today. They didn’t adjust the headlights right and the one that was damaged is way down, tried to manually adjust via the screw and it just clicks, also clicks when turning on for auto adjusting, guess I’ll be bringing it back tomorrow

tell me I’m not crazy?? I know the left headlight is supposed to be a little lower but this is way too much right? I don’t remember prior but I swear it wasn’t this low.

yes that isn’t right at all. Also, that front plate there is absolutely annihilating your cooling. IAT will be much higher with it like that.

The exact reason I absolutely hate front license plates. I know it really doesn’t matter unless you’re doing something such as tracking the car, but still I fucking hate them.

I never speed really or even gas it at all for that matter and if I go to track on the odd occurrence the plate is removed so I’m not too worried about the aspect. Thanks though

Yeah I will say even in any lighting conditions the panels and paint look 100% perfect and I would have 0 way of discerning anything was ever changed. It was done at the official Toyota center at one of the top 5 dealerships in the world by sales metric so hopefully they would get it right. Kinda crazy the easier thing imo (the lights) is the thing that’s wrong

As you can see, my plate is located on the driver's side. Not sure what airflow it might affect, but that is where it was located when I purchased the car.

Yea man, unfortunately they are not properly adjusted. Looks like they gave it the good ol' Whitacker Adjustment.

I’m having the same issue but on the passenger side (replaced with a new headlight assembly and installed the old modules from the old, cracked headlight assembly). Also, the driver’s side headlight auto levels, but not the passenger side headlight. Not getting any codes related to the headlight auto leveling either. I tried to adjust the low beam by following the instructions in the service manual but adjusting the vertical and horizontal beam did not do anything. Do I have to program the headlight to autolevel?

Yes, they need to be programmed. I had to have Toyota do it and it took forever because no one knew how to because it’s BMW tech

Mine was done through insurance so just my deductible but you might get it done for cheap, I doubt free sadly
