Driving is smooth, no vibration or pulling or anything but the noise. Smh.
Check the brake rotor dust shields - maybe one got bent and is scraping/rubbing the rotor.

I checked all that, but no luck.
I went to Discount Tire redo wheel balance, and the guy confirmed one of my front wheel slightly bent, and they asked me to reschedule a different day to fix it... Since all of my wheels are in bad shape, I opted for a new set.

Looks like the forged one. Where did you get them from?

They are not, just a normal cast aluminum.

I got them at local Lexus dealer for $285 each.

Triple Beam LED headlights installed. Shout out to @JoshIS408 for the assist. Had the “Check Headlight Leveling System” come up immediately. Hit him up as I have the same options: Non-AFS with Auto Leveling.

He did not have the error, however provided recommendations to try. Unplugged the AFS ECU and error is no longer popping up!

My coworker installed his dashcam last week. That's two days before someone drove their car straight into him. These are like Doorbell cameras now. Damn, near required... Everyone should have one of these!

How is the beam? Someone who had these told me that the Beam was not pointing good from left to right spread. They tried adjusting them but it did not help much.

@jvirtu81 those night shots look great of the aftermarket triple beams! Any daytime shots to show how it changes the overall look of the GS's front end?

Had my tires balanced and rotated at Discount Tire, good thing i'm OCD and always watching. The tech was about to put the rear wheels on the front and had to tell him they are staggered and its a side to side rotation..

I know the feeling but the Discount Tire on 441 near Southern has been good to me so far. However, I am going to switch to WBA Performance, a few minutes from me in Wellington.

I brought my Macan there for a lowering spring installation and they did an amazing job and a perfect alignment too. My wife's NX200t is headed there next week for an alignment after many bad alignments elsewhere.They have a touchless tire machine and I'll be visiting there when it's time. They pay attention to all the details based on what I've seen so far.

TBH I'm satisfied with it, but agree it could provide a better footprint from left to right. Lights are pretty bright. I also adjusted and it did not get any wider. The up&down adjustment works well.

Thanks,
I saved about 1 lb per wheel but now I have carry an extra set of lug nuts for my spare tire and a slim socket in the trunk.
