Small price to pay but if it's just the start up leveling I can live without that to avoid the flashing light and having black electrical tape on the dash. If there's something I am missing here since I jumped the gun please let me know.

You already have the new headlight in the right car, so you don't have this side effect issue..

I got the info from Jeff Lange in the same thread so thanks to him I got it taken care of. I HAVE not driven the car at night yet and will repost when I do. The light DOES go away and the stys off with the car running even after a few minutes. I have detailed pics below and getting to that point was pretty straight forward.
To get the scuff plate off you just give it a tug and it pops right off it is only held in with 4 white plastic clips. .
Next is to pop the dead pedal off again this is a pain but just work your fingers underneath and give it a good pull and it pops right off.
Next just work the carpet back to gain access to the AFS ECU again thanks Jeff for the location and part number.
The pics are as easy as it gets no tools needed and it only took about 20 minutes to complete and that was with verifying everything worked after and the reinstall of all panels. Reinstalling the parts took me maybe 3 minutes no lie.
I will repost later this week with results from night driving to see if there are any draw backs. One side note make sure your wife is awake before starting and stopping your F especially if you have loud exhaust...oops.

Enjoy

I got the damn stupid thing when I lowered the Wife's car on Teins and all the dealer said it was due to dropping the car and couldnt fix the light??? Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance guys!

The leveling sensor? thats the 10mm one right? I tried adjusting but it didnt make a difference and I also did a ECU battery reset but didnt fix the problem either... Could it be cause its a 2012 and its something different?
(for example the fuse pull to reset the ECU in the 2IS FAQ, wont work for the 2012 IS350 cause its a different fuse setup)

unless you have a link or something to help me out... Thanks JoeZ, you da man !
