I just purchased a 2000 Millenium Silver Gs400. I have owned a few cars, but this one puts the biggest smile on my face. I love the quietness, performance and looks. I have a few minimal complaints about a few button layouts, ( just me being picky) but other than that I think it was worth every penny.

This website is very useful. I have a spoiler with LED's and the 3rd brake light on the back dash. I used one of the DIY's to disable the brake warning light and then unplug the extra light.

I am having 2 problems that are annoying me.

1. For those of you that know the car has auto aiming headlights. It was the 1st thing i noticed at night when it does the calibration. Well the passenger side headlight was pointing real low, so I followed the instructions in the owners manual to raise it with the screw on the back. Now my passenger side headlight doesn't adjust and does not go through the calibration process. only the driver side does. I don't have a warning light on the dash.

2. How do i get the air recirculation to stay on fresh air? every time I turn the car off it goes back to recirculate. It bothers me because I notice that in the driver side foot well it gets really hot and the only way to bring the temp down is to let fresh air in on the foot setting.

Thanks in Advance.

Check the wires in the back of the headlight. There is a motor in the back of the light that does the leveling, if its disconnected or not working anymore then this will be the reason.
