Where on the left dash is this dial? Is it button or touch spot? Does any know if the 23 Limited also has this ability to aim the headlights?

This is on the Crown SIGNIA, don't know if Crown has it or not.

I think the brightness is good enough...but I wish I could point them a little higher with the headlight leveling dial (got an XLE).

I traded a Volvo XC40 for the CS -- the headlights on that model were way better than those on the Signia. The XC40 also had fog lights, so when you add those to the equation then I would have to say that the XC40 blows the Signia out of the water.

You can adjust them up under the hood quite easily. Philips screw driver turn each side an even number of turns. Not too many. Point lights at wall at knight and turn screws.

My 2025 Crown XLE says the headlights adjust automatically. It has no dial.

Thanks for the info.

Have you adjusted your headlights? If so, how much of a difference does it make?

Yes, I found my lights were aimed way down from the factory. I moved them up so that they were more or less good while the dial inside was at mid point. I can lower them now with the dial if there's fog or snow and raise them if I have a load.

Yea, being new here, my mistake. Too many differences between Crown and Crown Signia.

I looked for a screw that I could turn and I could not find an obvious choice.

Can you post a picture of where the screw is located?

Here's a screenshot of the owner's manual that discusses the dial, but it says "if equipped".

I recall reading Toyota's brochure that the limited trim has automatic leveling headlights. I rather like that I can control them in my XLE.

If you have a load, it'll generally cause the rear to sit lower, which would cause the headlights to aim higher, not lower.

Because the headlights are mounted so low, any adjustment making the beam above the height of the mounted headlights, will cause the beam to get higher and higher the farther out from the vehicle.

Major blinding glare is therefore possible if the headlights are adjusted too high, past horizontal.

Another fan of the adjustable settings on my XLE. It took a night or two to get them where I am happy with them....keeping in mind that any heavy loads would require them to be lowered a tad. We had something similar on our Tundra Platinum which I used regularly when towing.

Not sure how I posted twice interface here seems to be a bit confusing.

 

[tzx4]

They are bright enough but I have to say the ones on my 2024 Venza that I traded in on it, and the ones on my 2016 Prius are brighter. Fun fact, the 2013 Prius C I used to own I think were the brightest high beams oh ever experienced and they were incandescent.

I have adjusted the headlights using the dashboard leveling dial. The headlights are still inadequate. They don’t have enough range or spread.

IIHS disagrees with your opinion, but thanks for letting us know what you think.

IIHS just rated the 2025 Signia as a Top Safety Pick, so I don't know about any "issues". It's the safest vehicle I've ever owned, that is for certain. I feel like I'm riding in a bank vault when I'm driving it.

Crown Signia XLE.

My Crown Signia XLE has the manual headlight adjustment. It's a thumb roll dial to the left of the steering column. If I read the Toyota brochure right, and assuming it is correct , the Limited has automatic leveling.

Yeah, sorry I sad that wrong.

 

[Munirider]

It would have been much better if they had put the headlights up higher like on the crown sedan. So much of a vehicles exterior comes down to design over function.

We also have a 2018 Highlander. I think the Signia has better headlights than the Highlander. I guess personal preference.
