Headlight Level Sensor... Has this ever happened to anyone?
Was driving through NYC and realized my lights were pointing straight at the ground. I noticed that the AFS light was blinking. So I pulled to the side and looked under my car, behind the driver side wheel to find that the Headlight Level Sensor Connecting Arm ( the link from the sensor to the control arm) had snapped in half! I was shocked.
It may have been due to all of the pot holes in NYC, but im wonderin if anyone has done this. I drive an 07 AWD is250 with only 67,000mi. I called lexus and the replacement rod and sensor is $500... being an engineer, I used super glue, tape and zipties to hold me over until I find a more permanent solution.

I found out that my sensor arm broke as well. Did you ever find just the arm? What was your permanent fix?
The part here in Canada is $855 for the sensor and arm as one unit. They don't sell just the arm.
I too may MacGyver something as I think it's crazy to spend the money when the sensor is working perfectly.
Any advice you can provide is much appreciated.
