Headlight Shadow/Dark Spot?? Is this on all Land Cruiser 250 models? Or just 1958 trims?

How long is everyone waiting to change their oil on the LC250? I'm at 800 miles so it's still being broken in. But I've been seeing other posts & YouTuber's changing their oil at 1K miles, 5K miles, and 10K miles for break in period and suggesting you do the same. With everyone bagging on the 4Cyl turbo being concerned about reliability this is definitely a good precaution and one I'm thinking of taking. I generally do all my own oil changes anyways. And Toyota will only change them every 10k miles for you with your 2 year service deal. Am I crazy for wanting to change it before 10K or even 5K miles? Also for anyone wanting to change their own LC250 oil for the first time or first time on any vehicle would anyone be interested in a Youtube tutorial on how to do it? I'll definitely make one if so.

Does every Land Cruiser 250 trim have this dark spot? I've owned my LC250 for roughly 2.5 weeks and upon picking it up the first night I noticed this dark spot in the same space with the low beams but it goes away when the high beams turn on. I have a 1958 trim and am curious if it's from the circular shape of the headlight or if the higher trims with the rectangular headlights also have it.

I'm assuming it's just a gap in the lighting. Has anyone been able to re-position their headlights to fix this?
