Small Dogg You Are Big Time For Posting This. Is Was Wondering If We Can Ask You To Type Out The Notes. I Dont Want To Be A Pain In The ***, Bec I Know You Spent Alot Of Time Of This Post. It May Help More Of Us To Avoid Going To The Lexus Dealer, Or At Least Be Able To Tell The Dealer Or A Tech At A Sshop What To Do. Thnaks Again

Sounds good to me. Make it easy to understand.

Good to go. I hope this clear up a lot of confusion. All I did was remove the nut (10mm) from the sensor ( has the wire plugged to it) and turned the arm to ( L or 180 degrees) position. I had to remove my tire to get to it. 10min job.

Note:..It should be no need to adjust the adjustment bolt. Look at the first pic when I said " I moved it in every position and had no luck" on page 3.( I think everyone that couldn't fix it was moving the same part) Also note the elbow part in that pic is also in the up position. I got that pic from the IS side. Thanks guys

I removed the left rear (driver side) tire. No problem....ask all the question you want. It's the only way can learn. I asked many questions in order to install the springs myself. I will even PM my number if needed. I like to see everyone happy.

You can use the other adjustment to aim your headlights. If you move it up the lights aim down. If you move if down the light go up. Don't forget to mark it before you start adjusting. (just in case you have to set it back) This worked for me.

I had to make the adjustments at night and on level ground so I could see how far to adjust them.

You should see it if you crawl behind the left rear tire.

hey smalldog, thanks for your help. when you adjust the sensor, do you unscrew with a phillips or no screwing required and just simply sliding it?

No phillips. You need a small 10mm socket with an extension and a ratchet wrench to loosen the nut. Then you can slide it up or down.

This thread saved my life lol. I just had my car put back to stock and the AFS light was blinking. I knew it had to do with the lowering and raising. I followed the instructions on the thread and voila! All gone
