2013 2IS and they never move side to side. As found on purchase they were so low that 60ft in front of the car the cutoff was on the ground. I adjusted them and now they swing up and down when the lights are turned on. Bring a towel with when aiming and drape it over one side so you can see exactly what the other is doing.

That said I think if either light is at a limit mechanicaly, the AFS system may be rendered inoperable??

In the fog I noticed the left light is turned in substantially. It is hard to see the true center of the beam without aid like fog, rain, snow ect.

2011+ with HID and LED DRL don't have side to side AFS. Only the autolevel up/down.
