Default 08 GS 460 Jittery Lights

Wondering If anyone else has noticed the lights jittery or bouncy when you go over bumps or imperfections on the roads. This cannot be right?

Thank you,

yes this is common with the AFS in most Lexus models. Mine does it in both LS and GS.

Yes mine shake too, mostly at low speed (or maybe I don't see them when I'm going fast) doesn't bother me. The purpose of the mechanism is to allow movement/aiming of the headlight, so given a hard enough bump I would expect it to be susceptible to shake. Do some shake more than others... that I cannot comment.

No probs, I've been around for a while and never saw this question pop up, so you're good lol!

Like blue said, the system is built to relevel after a longer term bump/movement. Not sudden bumps.

I think it's kind of cool actually. It can strike up a conversation on the tech.

LOOOL, I've given my techs headscratching conversations...... I told them to take their factory GS350 on the lot, and drive it down the road, compare it to MY GS.... and then attempt to tell me my GS is a rough ride like what they expected from the cliché assumption air susp is rough. I've changed all their minds since.... LOL!
