Default Need help with wiring for led headlight

So I ordered led hybrid headlights and need to know how to get the high beams to work when plugged into gs 350 f sport. I tried contacting the guy mshmsh but no luck on getting a response

Oh yeah forgot he has the luxury version. I think you might be the first, well I'm tuned in to see what the outcome is as the first F-Sport with it in the US.

The LED Headlight High Beam is just missing a ground (Pin 24). You can connect it with the ground from the low beam (Pin 9) or find a ground. FYI you will still get a warning light for the auto level. The only way to stop it is by getting the motor from the HID and tricking the computer. That's how i did my set up. Which version LED did you get? USDM or JDM (or other country)?

Dude thank you so much!!!!! Usdm got lucky. So what about the afs? Someone said that it doesn't re level as in when it does it's up down left right it stays downward and doesn't go back to the neutral position that true? Oh how do I know what is pin # 24?

FSport model cant read the AFS motor in the headlight. It won't even function. it will just stay in the same position. I'm not even sure if the AFS can move up and down. I have tried wiring in different ways but to no avial. Also I have a feeling the auto level is only in HID not LED. but i can be wrong.

Here is a diagram i made its kinda messy. Oh i think i messed up on the numbering in the high and low but you will know which one is which.

Here is the Auto Level Motor (HID). This motor (need 2 left and right) I used to trick the ECU

Here is the difference between the USDM and JDM version. I have both

USDM has the amber turn signal in the corner

JDM has no amber turn signal in the corner. It is a solid piece.

The AFS had been standard on many Lexus models with HID before. Why Lexus go the cheaper way and removed it from the 4GS F-sport and Premium?

I think base model & fsport headlights are the same! I installed on 2014 Fsport headlight from 2013 base model, everything is working as should be. The only difference if has AFS or not.
