Default is Base RX pre wired for AFS turn lights?

So I picked up a pair of OEM HID headlights with AFS capability and I am planning to install them next week onto my base '08 RX350 (with halogen reflector headlights). The lights are in the mail as I type this.
Since I worked on some radio wires I noticed the wire for air suspension adjustment being there, behind the cigarette lighter, so I was wondering...might we also have pre wiring for AFS? After all, the sesors should already be on the car (steering wheel turn sensor is already used by TRC and ESP) so why not put the wiring too?
That would be a cool upgrade, to have the wires there and just add dynamic lighting in a snap

Any input from the community?

So was the wiring there? Having just pulled one of my headlights to seal it for condensation issue, I did not see any additional unused wiring. So I expect it is not there. Of course you would have to add the AFS switch under the steering wheel as well. But I am curious how this ended up.

Nope, no wiring...I replaced the halogen with HID and that's all...no AFS, no self leveling...no big deal since the quality of light is a huge improvement over stock halogen.

I agree. I have self leveling HIDs and love them. They give a nod of approval each time you start it (they do the self calibration routine) and give such bright clear light. Really nice.
