Could you quote the section from the owner's manual? I think you are referring to the feature you get with the optional HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlights, which automatically keeps the beam level as the car changes angle, to keep from blinding oncoming cars.

wait are those only feature in hid? i have hologens with halogen hid look but not actually hologen .... so basically the headlight automatically adjusts byitself how do i know if i have this feature or not? heres the thing i bought eagle eyes companies angeleyes it came with bulb, i thought my bro in law had to readjust the headlight but surprisingly they were all straight and even, i was amazed... but heres another thing i added my hid look hologen and 1 slightly higher then the other, i was taking my bulb out trying slightly to straighten them out?

one of the ways to tell if you have hid`s,is when you start your vehicle,you will see the headlight`s move up/down.Then settle,it`s pretty cool actually.Another way to tell is the really brilliant blueish/white light they have.

I think its pretty much covered in this thread. Its standard for HIDs, if you have halogens; then you don't have auto level. Like its said by Lexus114, if your vehicle is equipped with it you would be able to see the lights move up and down as soon as you turn your car on. Park ifo a wall and turn your car on.
