    The left light went sky high when I replaced both lights. Yes, it was placed properly, and both had same PN.
    Many thanks for the advice of the Phillips screw driver. Using an 8mm socket was slow, the Phillips had the job done in seconds.
    I set left to same as right. Good road coverage, nobody flashing me.
    Thanks to all.

    were you able to just stick your hand in there to reach it? I have a 2012 too and on the drivers side, the battery seems to be very much in the way. I can barely get my hand in there

    That's the beauty of the Toyota adjuster system. The Phillips head screwdriver goes in from the top. Think of it as using the screwdriver head to turn a gear.

    My 2012 has the adjustment screws, but all 4 seem to be for looks. Beam doesn’t change location regardless of how much and what direction any are turned.
