I haven't tried it, but check out the service manual for lighting:

Look at page 89 of the pdf file. It shows some info on aiming the
headlights for the sedan.

bump. . . the headlight design has changed for the 2009/10, and there are now two adjusters, one readily accessible and exposed towards, very close to the grill, and another buried behind everything underneath the headlight, on the the side opposite of the grill. It's would be impossible to reach the other adjustment screw, requiring removal of the headlight, which would make aiming all but impossible.

Hopefully someone else has done this and give pointers. I'm really hoping it's not the buried adjuster!!!

Awesome! I'm hoping it's the same on the (newer) hatch. Gonna just have to experiment. Thanks!

And yes I have full glare shields. But out here "legal" and "glare" are a small concern.

This part adjust the height turn it to the left or right to adjust Up and Down.
That's how I did it with my Sedan with HID'S.

I will try this tonight on my 2010 Yaris (hatch) and will report back, so we'll have a record for the future.

Yes, it is different on the hatch, which is why I have to test it out. What's worse is that the 09/10 headlights have a newer design which is also different from the rest of the hatches. Didn't get a chance to adjust them yet. . . will hopefully get a chance tomorrow.

Yup, it's the right one for the 2010.

I notice from camell's pics that...the 2008 Corolla models have the same nut of adjusting the height of the lights.

Yes, the liftback is different in adjusting.

djct Watt - the screws can be see when having the hood open. White plastic screw on each side near the top corner, nearest to the front bumper~
