Default AFS Switch?

After driving tonight I noticed what I think is AFS as the left light shifts left when turning left and the right does a similar action when turning right.

But there is no on/off switch. Is there supposed to be an on/off switch as I have seen in other Lexus vehicles similarly equipped?

They're working like they're supposed to when the switch on the turn signal stalk is in 'auto'. I love them on mine and for some reason they discontinued the feature on the 2013 models.

I'm not sure what year or model you have, but AFS is gone from the 2013's. (Some of us are sad it was taken away with the HID and LEDs.) Anyway, if you have a 2010-12 and want to try turning AFS off, use the menu button on the steering wheel, scroll until you see AFS, and turn it off. This may help.

Good chance I would have found a way to trade up this year for the new look but they took away a working feature I really enjoy. So had to balance what was more important to me, the new look (that I would only see when walking up to my car), or the wonderful AFS Hid's that swivel and auto dim when driving at night. I was able to save several $$$ by keeping Watson. The quality and Hi-tech of my swiveling, auto dimming HID's won. Priceless

What I dont like about turning it off is that the yellow AFS OFF light stays on.
