The auto leveling feature is supposed to keep the headlights pointed towards the road regardless of the load factor/weight distributions in your car.

youll hate after I tell you thats the reason why the RX has such bad distance and you can't change level itself. Take Maglite and point it at the ground and you pretty much have the headlights on our RX. Yeah no glare for others and no light from the HIDs!!! Guess it their for show...

Sorry to hear u don't like the system but on mine the light is fantastic.
I believe you are saying the light doesn't go out far enough? I find just the opposite, it has much more distance & stays on the roadway when I am rounding the bends.

We have an 04 and it has the adaptive headlights. Love them! Especially with all the wildlife we have around here, they're great going around corners

we've been satisfied with the headlight distance on our RX and also like the adaptive system. Compared to our GS, the RX lights reach a much greater distance tho it of course has higher clearance. Was able to adjust the GS lights upward just a touch to help. RX has been satisfactory as is.
