Default Vibrating headlights

I just bought a 2010 gs350 with 28k and at night when I hit bumbs on the road both head lights shake. Is this a common problem? Or should I take it back to the dealer. I had a 06 gs and it do this. Has any of you had this problem before? Thanks

Not supposed to shake but they do adjust when you hit bumps or lean the vehicle over. If theres shaking I would check to see if the bulb is secured correctly in its place.

Mine does the same thing too. Do you have AFS? Cuz i noticed on cars with AFS, it does that. Both on mine, my dad's LS430 and my brother's R330.

Yep suppose to do that, as my dealer told me the adaptive lights do that. There was a thread I'll see if I can find it.

For AFS or auto-leveling, as that would only apply to the auto-leveling part. Yes depending on the passengers the lights will adjust so as not to blind oncoming traffic. My GS 300 06' didn't have this problem either but I also didn't think the AFS work as good as it does in the 07 and up.

the gs headlights suck. Level your headlights up a few notches slightly, install some hid fogs and then you can finally be on a some what similar playing level as bmw. Well until your ballast eats up one of the bulbs pre maturely.
