u should hear the hum all the time when the hid is on. turn off the car so the engine noise doesn't drown out the hum and put your head next to the headlights.

When I go to the menu by the tach and spedometer one of the options is AFS ON, or AFS OFF. ? I am wondering if they have that option on there even if you dont really have it?

Also doing some research trying to figure this out... someone suggested looking for a spark or something when you have someone esle turn the lights on?

When I turn the lights on while parked facing a wall, I dont see the lights self-level...

Any other suggestions? Thanks!

No AFS without HIDs--so you'd have to have them.

While it's true that most 07+ are built with HIDs, they aren't "standard". It's just real hard to find one produced without them in those model years.

What a silly question! Just put your head in front on the headlight... and feel it with your eyes! Haha...
