No, Premium has it as well, but I'm not sure if this was true for all model years.

My '23 GX and '22 RCF both have a button to the left of the steering wheel for auto high beams, so it switches from high to low automatically depending on oncoming traffic w/o having to move the lever on the steering column.

In US market Automatic High Beams have been available since 2010.

2010-2013 in some packages on fully loaded models and 2014-2019 on Luxury with Driver Support Package.

I have a AHB mirror spare for future mod but it would need an extra wire or two assuming it would work with my existing BCM.

Does anybody like or use the auto headlight (hi-lo beam) feature?
My '23 acts wonky by dimming the brights when a road sign is in the high beam at times, especially a newer one that doesn't have years of road spray/dirt on it. I turned it off to avoid the annoying flashing of the hi/low beams.

I turned mine off the day after I bought it. Driving at night it was constantly switching between high and low at every hint of light coming at me. It was obnoxious.

AHB - I like it and use it.

Although, I have to admit that the Lexus/Toyota implementation is the worst that I have seen. I've had this on a German vehicle (Porsche) and it was pretty amazing how well it performed.

The GX AHB just works, but not well. But I like the feature enough and keep it permanently on.

AHB on this era of Lexus decided high beams should be on when really low beams are needed, while low beams and fogs are better when there is zero light.
This might be also related to line of sight of the sensor, and due to how old the platform is, the sensor was not that great in terms of logic and required the highest levell of windshield clarity/maintenance.

Yeah, it drives me nuts how they play musical chairs with these options every year....the year after mine, they took stuff away that had been standard and charged more for it.

If you hold the button down it will reboot the screen. This works on all of the modern Lexus.

Just curious, when is rebooting the screen necessary? Does it freeze or similar?
