Default Headlight question

Ok, I used to own a RX300, went to a BMW X3, and now thinking about getting back in a Lexus, RX350 this time. One thing I love about my X3 is the "adaptive headlights", wherein the bi-xenon (H.I.D.) headlights move slightly with the steering wheel, and the fog light comes on, depending on which way the steering wheel is turned. Does the RX have this feature? Which years have this feature? Thanks for any help...

My 2010 has it and it was available through 2012 at least. They did a mild refresh in 2013 and I am not sure about those later models. Searching should answer that question.

Follow up question: When perusing through pics of X3s, if it had H.I.D.s (bi-xenon), it automatically had the "adaptive" feature. Can I assume the same with the RX350?

According to the gen 3 RX sales brochures for the 2010 through 2012 model years, both the optional Bi-Xenon headlights and the optional LED headlights were adaptive. There is no mention of adaptive headlights in the 2013 through 2015 RX brochures. The brochures can be viewed at: http://www.auto-brochures.com/lexus.html

From what I can tell from the manuals, this feature was available on this generation from 2010 - 2012, and didn't return until 2017 (Next Generation)

The up-down headlight movement is standard but not the right-lift (steering adaptive) in the 2013~2015 if this is what you're targeting.
