Default auto leveling

on the headlights, is the auto leveling supposed go down and then up on each start up of the vehicle or just when the front and rear sensor are off by a little on downhills or driveways and stuff , thanks I've only seen mine level out only a few times, but then again only had the car a month or so.

I think mine levels all the time. It's only noticeable when I'm back out of the garage, or when there is something directly in front of the car so I can see the headlights level.

It level depending on the slope you're on. Sometimes at startup, mine adjusts. but if i turn it off and turn it on again, it doesn't re-adjust

GS's with the HID package and all GS430's have the auto leveling feature

AFAIK if you have your lights on before you start the car they will auto adjust after the car is started, otherwise you just get adjustment when your on a slope or if they are not level when the car was turned off.

So, these do readjust themselves throughout the drive?

They should auto level while driving as well as when you start the car.
