    I have a 2011 that I just recently got. It has the headlight adjustment switch. The driver's side headlight is aimed higher than the passenger's side. Is this normal? I'm use to the sealed beams on my Tacoma and usually have them even if not the passenger side a little higher. Is there away to adjust the headlights, independently?

    Yes, vertical adjustment is the 8 mm bolt directly behind the headlight and it you look there is a funny star washer with
    long fins that just look weird. That was designed by Toyota so you can stick a Phillips screwdriver in and clockwise turns raise
    the light, counterclockwise turns lower the light. Side to side movement is a 10 mm bolt that is awkward to reach as its
    outboard of the inner vertical adjusters. You'll need a long 8 mm ratcheting box end. I just installed new Morimoto lights so
    they needed adjustment out of the box. I got help from guys before me
