Lexus nx300h (F SPORT 3 beam) headlight upgrade
Hi guys, first post so forgive any mistakes.
I have just purchased a crash damaged lexus nx300h. Damage was light so just front bumper lights and rad needed changing.
Manage to find a rear end fire damage F Sport at the salvage yard so i went ahead and bought the complete front end for £4000
Now everything fitted on perfect and the lights both work perfectly however the left hand indicator/drl will not work.
Also when i turn the car of the left headlight stays on for a while before going off.
I know there is a previous post that explains that F SPORT HEADLIGHTS do no work with non F sport cars but i have seen someone do it and there one seemed to work normal. So i am not sure.
Any help would be appreciated.

Regarding the left headlight, approximately how long does it remain on? Would you say it is at full brightness during that time, or at some reduced intensity?
The 3-beam headlight usually has one beam that is adaptive; it rotates to better illuminate the roadway in front of you as you turn. This action requires either a different headlight control computer, or alternatively, different software. I am not sure if the adaptive feature is available (or allowed) in the U.K.
Some vehicles use a steering angle sensor to control the beam position, while others simply use the turn indicator. So, there could be a correlation between anomalies observed in both the left headlight and left turn indicator.

Hi firstly, thank you so much for your input so i found the problem and it was the most noob problem. Having taken the bumper on and of several times i managed to leave a plug unplugged. So now everything is sorted but the issue seems to have travelled almost.
Now the right headlight stays on no matter what. Day or night ignition on or off.
The only time it seems to go off is when i lock the car.
