2022 4Runner “dried water run mark” in headlights

First World Problems

 

I just picked up a 2023 SR5P last week and I noticed this right away. The "block" is more visible on the driver's side headlamp vs. the passenger. It is driving me crazy and I wish I hadn't seen it.

 

yeah, it’s by design. You can make it somewhat less apparent by aiming your headlights a little higher. The flattened angle will diffuse the sharpness of the block. My headlights seemed to be aimed too low from the factory, so who knows if these blocks were never meant to be so obvious. My OCD found the blocks acceptable after I aimed them properly.

 

one of the "blocks" disappeared on my headlights a few months ago.. no clue... other is still present though
