yeah look like the organ AFS light flashing, look like it tried to tell you the afs malfunction or something? it happen when I lowered my car yesterday when I installed the rear sensor wrong way, and the "AFS OFF" light was flashing, and this morning I took the sensor off reinstalled correctly and it normal again
I think it will happen the same thing when we install the new LED headlights, we sill see the organ "AFS OFF" light flashing
it kind annoying when you look at it, but like someone else said you can unplug the bulb in the gauge cluter off, and you won't see the light any more I don't think the flashing light has to do anything to the car? not like CHECK ENGINE light on, that the one we have to worry

This is how I see this working. Once the lamp kit is purchased and installed on your IS, remove your old headlamps and return them back to us for a credit. A core credit for your old existing lamps is available depending on equipment. See chart below for details.
Core credits
2006-2008 IS w/HID lamps: $400
2006-2008 IS w/o HID’s: $300
2009-2010 IS w/HID lamps: $500
2009-2010 IS w/o HID’s: $400
This maybe perfect for some of you while for others it may not. Feel free to gauge your own value of your old, used lights before sending them back to us.

Here is another question.

No, the red triangular light never appeared while working with the new headlamps. No lights ever came on unexpectedly, just the yellow AFS light in the lower left hand corner. The AFS is not considered Maintenance thus unlike the washer fluid, and oil change notifications the red triangular warning light does not come on.
I tried turning OFF my AFS on my 09 IS250, then unplugged the AFS ECU and the AFS light remained on. The good news is this is exactly what you'd expect if the AFS computer was malfunctioning. The bad news with all this, I don't think we're able to find a work around for the AFS light being on.
For the core credit, we're finalizing the details now and should be posting something shortly.

Could these core credits be applied to previous year HID upgrades? I have a 2006 non-HID. Could I ship mine back to you for $300 off the 2006 HID's? Or any other year that fits the '06? The 2011's are nice but too rich for me.

Suffice it to say, the 2011 lights are the same price as the other lights. The conversion however is different due to the number of add-ons.
Get it?

Next detailed question...
With the customized wire harness you will be providing..
How do you wire the LED's to turn ON??
Is it default ON with DRL Function?? or is it with one click ON the light stalk??
I remember with a 2011 in the showroom I was able to turn ON the LED's by turning on the Parking Lights with one click.
(no key present)
Reason I ask is for all of us that have the DRL's turned OFF..

Sewell, I'm confused. When the 2011 lights are installed, does the AFS light in the lower left corner stay lit or flash? I can live with it if it stays on. The flashing, though, would be a problem.
