Do all ISX50's come with AFS w/ auto level headlamps when you get the a option with HID? OR is there an option that is just HID's???
To make a long story short, the reason why i am asking is because i am going to trade headlights with a guy. I know his car came equipped with the stock HID's but i was just afraid that his car didnt come with the auto leveling headlamps.. if that was even possible

You might be on to something there. I have look and look for official regulation for auto-leveling for US or Canada and couldn't find one. Only in Europe, headlight washers and auto-leveling is mandaded.
Here is a quote from a well written article from ASME between 01-04:
"Among the reasons that European standards mandate self-leveling HID systems while U.S. standards don't may be the different philosophies that guide lighting system design. According to Michael Flannagan, a senior scientist at the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute, European regulators' concern over glare contrasts with U.S. regulators' emphasis on maximizing vision. For many decades, low beam patterns have been different between the two regions, he said."
For anyone interested they also talk about the history of HID, Adaptive Front Lighting Systems that should also be mandated and much more.
