Does anyone else have this issue? I notice the drivers side headlight moves drastically in comparison to the the passenger side headlight. Taking turns in both directions, I notice both of them are moving... but the passenger side light turns around 5 degrees, where the drivers side moves 10 to 15 degrees when in a hard turn.

From the 09 IS website (a little more detail):
In a left-hand turn, the left headlamp will pivot up to 15 degrees (the right-hand headlamp remains pointed straight ahead) and in a right-hand turn, the right headlamp will pivot up to 5 degrees (the left-hand headlamp remains pointed straight ahead).

So i have an 06' but i dont ever notice my headlights moving when i turn, but when i first turn on my car they do move but nothing after that. I posted something about figuring out if my car had HIDs, and someone said if my headlights move when i start the car then i have them, so how come i dont ever notice them moving when i turn or maybe im just not paying enought attention. ???

Like Kurtz said, if you cycle through the menu button which looks crudely like this: [<O>] to the left of the steering column, one of the options will be AFS On/Off if you have HID and AFS.

So i checked out the button and it def has an option for AFS on/off, i pressed it to off and the warning light came on just to make sure. So am i missing something when i dont see my headlights turning or do the 06's not turn for some reason??

You just said it has the AFS on/off option, so your car has it. Generally the car has to be going at least 6-8 mph for it to work. You can't see it while parked and turning the steering wheel left/right. Go out at night on a dark curvy road.....you'll definitely notice it turning more in the left hand curves versus the right hand curves. If you still don't see it, then stop off at the dealer. I would think the AFS malfunction light would be on though if there were a problem with the AFS system.

They pivot more when you turn left. Maybe something's wrong, because I see it all the time, even when the streets are well lit with street lights.
