Default IS-F headlights has no AFS?

Hi guys, so I just noticed my '11 IS-F headlights doesnt turn when I corner while my 07 IS350 does it..is that true? I did notice the F has auto leveling at the start so I was surprised it has no AFS..
looked through the manual didnt see such device as an option

Only 2008 to 2010 ISFs have AFS. Starting with 2011 and up MYs only the auto-leveling exists.

All of a sudden "AFS ON" in the dash started blinking............it doesn't move anymore. The dash selection is on the "ON" position. A visit to the dealer may be in order. Has this happen to anyone?

I've found the AFS motors to be too slow for any real function, especially since they only turn a few degrees on left turns (IIRC).

Yea they basically did nothing noticeable and moved very slow. The newer headlights look 10 times better and the LEDs are functional.

I live in the hills and my neighborhood is off the beaten path so its dark and twisty. No way I would go without them, especially with all of the people who jog and walk in the area at night . I am surprised to hear that they cut it for the LED set up. I guess looks nicer while the other is more functional
