you guys are really hyping this AFS b.s... from what I read it barely does anything because the projectors suck period. my question is are these the non defected bubble ones and if not hows the output, or else I can always get a retrofit with way better projectors and cutoff for that much.

First bad comparison and second we don't have alot of those in the D.C. area from what Joe Z wrote they do come with the AFS on the 2011's but you will be stuck with the blinking light
Go drive a 90's gm with halogen headlights on a non-lit curvy road at night and then tell me afs doesn't do anything. Yes the projectors may not be as good as some of the other ones, like my gf's RDX, but they are still great lights, especially coming from a 2008 Subaru with halogens and... You guessed it, a 97 Chevy. Like I said before, if they made the MYLED with AFS I'd be all over em.

FYI for All...
Everyone Please pay attention.....
That is NOT what I wrote...
AFS = Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is found on most 2006 - 2010 Lexus IS's that have the HID Headlamp Housings..
This ALSO includes the Up & Down Auto-Leveling feature...
If you have Halogen Bulb headlamps (non-HID) found in some 2006 - 2012 IS's, you have NONE of these features..
Now for 2011-2012 IS's - w/ new LED Day Time Running Light Strips.....
THERE IS NO AFS feature.... I will repeat it again... There is NO AFS feature...
However, the Auto Leveling Up & Down feature remains.
Anyone Questions..!!??

On a side note, anyone know if the 2013 GS has afs headlights? Just curious why Lexus removed afs to add leds in the IS.
