Default Headlight auto leveling help

Hi,

I recently installed coilovers on my 06 gs300 and the afs light was flashing. I tried to follow the instructions on this link and it fixed this issue, but I noticed that the headlights dont go up then back down when I start the car and turn on the headlights. Also, does it make a difference where you place the rear level adjustment if the afs light doesn't flash? After adjusting the rear sensor, I adjusted the front sensor with the lights on so I could see where it was shining on the wall.

Thanks

I just checked again and found that the headlights do move up but it doesn't go far up and back down to the proper level. Also, how can you tell if the afs still works?

U can tell if the afs works (assuming the afs flashing light is off) by turning the steering wheel while driving. If the lights turn in the same direction, ur good.

I just tried checking this and I can significantly see the afs working when I turn left but not when I turn right. Is this normal? After lowering the car and trying to fix the afs light flash issue I also noticed that the headlights don't go up then back down upon start up. They just go up. Afs light doesn't flash.

Thanks

Read posts #42. 43, 44 in the thread that you're referring to. I bet that's what you did wrong. I made that same mistake when I installed my F-Sports

I did this already, but was wondering how you supposed to know how much to adjust it? I made the back have that right angle and move the front sensor until it looked right when it was on and shining on a wall. You think if I bring the back down a little, you think this might fix it? Yet this doesn't affect the afs does it if the afs light already isn't flashing?
