The left front headlight has that uneven "W" projection on my LC 1958.

Is that normal? I took it to the dealership and they've been surprised too and don't have much experience with this new vehicle.

They said that they contacted Toyota, but haven't heard back from them yet...

From what I have heard this is intentional to help with headlights affecting head on drivers vision. Other manufacturers do this as well.
 
If you’re driving straight on a 2-lane road, that dip pretty much lines up with the on-coming traffic, so I assume it’s to reduce glare from our lights on other drivers.
 
You can't... I got use to it. And I kinda like now. It's the little imperfections that make it unique.

Unless you completely change the lights.

It looks like your right headlight is much lower than then left one.

Yea they've adjusted that at another dealer. The first dealer did a complete mess "trying to fix the W" so they raised the headlights so high that it felt like I was driving a ww2 searchlight.
 
how do I get rid of the W pattern?
Adjust the lights up. Mine were pretty low from the dealer, I got a little too aggressive and started getting flashed, so moved them down a bit. I still see it sometimes (I have the square lights), you get used to it.

*funny enough, the people flashing me were full size trucks, not cars lol.
