AFS headlamp
Anyone know how to determine by looking at a headlamp unit itself if it has AFS, whats the silver DENSO motor sort of thing thats attached to the headlamp? is it to do with AFS or height levelling?

I was looking for the same answer. I just purchased my 4th IS a 2013 IS 250 AWD. My previous 07 had the AFS lights on and never gave it a thought when purchasing the new 13 model because I was upgrading to the Navigation system with all the features, preset seat buttons, Led lights and rain sensitive wipers. I never thought they would do away with the AFS lights. Then last night my first time driving in the night on a winding road I noticed immediately. I love that feature and had problems seeing when turning corners because I was use to the 07. I hope they didn't eliminate that feature. I'm going to go through my owners manual to see what I find.

thanks for the replies. but having a look at the following ebay page: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171038549040 says that it includes the AFS motor. And looking at alot of ebay is250 led headlamps they all seem to say AFS.
This is why i am wondering if AFS motor is actually that DENSO motor that is visible from outside

AFS headlights
I talked to my Lexus dealer and he told me it wasn't for lack of room but rather price. To have both led running lights and AFS headlights wouldn't have been cost effective,. They changes to the led lights because that's what consumers are looking for rather than AFS lights. As for me I would rather have the AFS lights as I drive back winding roads and that's when you need them the most. I never even thought of asking when I traded my 07 IS with AFS lights in for the 13 IS and I think that's deceptive that they don't let you know. I just never thought they would remove that feature as it worked so well on my 07. I think they should at least offer it as an option package. But just as parking assist use to be an option on the IS they took that option away in 11 because as they told me IS owners weren't asking for that option.
