Don't think so, in that it isn't mentioned as standard nor option. And, wasn't mentioned at the orientation drive.

I believe once the LED running lights came into play,the swivel went away.At least on the IS anyway.

Can anyone confirm (maybe some one who test drove it.. or purchased/leased)?

Also the 2013 Lexus GS has LED drl and it has adaptive headlights - as does the new LS.

Again, can someone please confirm (not speculate) please?

I have AFS and don't find it a big deal.I'd rather have the LED DRLS.
You still have auto-leveling if no AFS on the '13 ES.

Why not just call a Lexus dealer and ask?

Seems like the quickest way to find out.

I won't risk a personal opinion here, but I will comment that such an item isn't mentioned in the "Product Information" "Standard Features", nor in the "Factory Options" listings.

i have a feeling he is going to respond by saying...

"um are you guessing or is that a fact? just because it isnt mentioned in the "Product Information" "Standard Features", nor in the "Factory Options" listings.... .doesnt mean it doesnt exist.. anyone know for sure?"

According to the brochure, no. HID only.

I'm not surprised Toyota brass decided to eliminate AFS on the IS and ES because they're entry level vehicles.I guess they figured why keep AFS on the RX as it will sell well with or without it..

I purchased and brought home a 2013 ES with HID and it doesn't have adaptive headlights nor was it an option. They are bright though!

Congrats on the new car. How do you like it so far? Did you keep your 2010 or trade it in?

For me HID's are a must have, and i can live without the adaptive feature after having them on my last two cars. After a while I didn't even notice the adaptive feature.
