Now that you mention it how do you use them? I thought it was automatic when you use your washer fluid. Time to pull out the 80 pound Lexus Bible.

 

The headlight washers will operate when the headlights are on and you activate the windshield wash or by pressing the button on the far left in the picture below.

 

Interesting.

 

Don't really think this is an issue. Bi-xenons work on full high beam all the time, and a screen is moved in and out to create the cutoff for the low beams.

 

I believe you're misunderstood panyo64's post. What he means to say is the bi-xenon will make the same amount of light regardless if its in high beam mode or not. A separate halogen high beam setup, it will actually add more light when the high beams are on.

That way, when someone is below your HID light cutoff, turning on a bi-xenon high beam makes no difference to them while with a halogen high beam, they will immediately notice you're flashing them.

 

I'd say the levelers in the light housings should mitigate most of the blinding light to oncoming traffic.

 

BMW I drove a 07 335i with bi-xenon headlights. When using the flash to pass, it activated the inner halogen light only. When actually using the high beams, it utilized the bi-xenon. Sadly, my 2009 doesn't behave this way operates the xenon when flashing.



The self leveling can't compensate when cresting big hills. It's for small movements such as braking, accelerating, or load changes.

 

That's the kind of solution I would have expected from lexus too, especially for 2013 and later, not the mediocre compromise they did there that required silently dropping some features.

 

Yeah, I remember the ad, shame they deleted it.
