2013 GS450h Adaptive Head Lights
I've had an Infinity G35, Genesis 4.2L with xenon adaptive front headlights, and now the GS. I've never had a issue with illumination in the other cars. However, I can easily out-drive the headlight projections in my GS. Dealers says they are operating correctly and aligned properly. I'm considering turning off the AFS..
Anybody else find this to be true? Anybody have a solution?

If you have not done so already, you may want to read the thread in this section right below the one you started. Some good discussion on the headlights from other owners.

This makes me snicker. I have a 2013 GS FSport with the Bi-Xenons and like you, when I first bought my car I was overdriving my headlights significantly. The 2013 FSport didn't have the adaptive beams and have a horrible cutout in the upper left area of the driver side beam pattern, so even with highbeams on, trying to enjoy a sprint through the mountains at night was impossible... any left hand turn was essentially blind.
But the solution is easy: Go to Harbor Freight and buy a set of their 2' long screw drivers, and adjust the aiming screws to move the beams up a couple inches. If I remember, you have to turn the left-right screw the same amount (or maybe 2x) the number of times you turn the up/down screw in order for things to stay aligned, but I believe it's printed on the plastic housing in the engine bay.
Fixed me right up.
You will need some absurdly long philips screwdrivers though.
