I called the guy who sold me the car -- and who also sold it to the original owner and then took it back in trade. He says I don't have them. Others have said that midway through the 2010 model year, Lexus dropped them, so I most likely have one of those models. There's probably a build date somewhere, or the VIN number is tied to one, but I don't know how to find it. Anyway, there's no sensor on the front side of the mirror, which I also understand is part of this system. I do have a separate gizmo with a sensor at the top of the windshield, but that's apparently to signal the automatic wipers when it's time for them to wake up. We're having a drought here, so I haven't had much chance to see them do their thing so far.

honestly, I never use my auto dimming feature. Never really find the need to use high beams anyways. In addition, having them flash on and off is a bit crude. I like how other car makers have slowly dimming and brightening functions built into the auto high beams. Also, with the stalk pushed back, its difficult to use your turn signals.
