i have a 04 RX330 with premium plus package.. with the xenon lights... so it should come with AFS right, how the hedlights turn a certain degree while your making a turn. I looked through the whole manual and found this section that describe the AFS and it says that there is a switch above the fuel door button so that I can turn it off if i want to. However, i went and checked and theres no switch to turn that off?? Am i missing something or does the 04 not come with that?!?! I even tried to take my car to a dark windy road and it doesn't seem like the headlight turns. I've test drove a new 5 series and it's really obvious that the headlights follow while you're making a turn, does the Lexus AFS work differently?
Has anyone tried this?

Well, I have an 04 RX with AFS and it works great. They turn more to the left when you turn left than they do when you turn right. It has something to do with how well you see from the driver's seat. Yes there is a button just above the gas door button, if you don't have one and your lights aren't turning then you might not have that as on option. But they do work great. What other options do you have on your premium package?

The AFS is an option on the 2004 model. Like shikbas said you will have to get the performance package to get that.
2005 AFS comes with the Premium Plus package.
AFS rocks!

Lexus introduced the AFS HID on the Premium Plus pkg. for the 2005 as part of the standard option.
I'm sure you can add the AFS on to your existing HID lights...but it wil cost you $$$$$$$$$$$$.
In California, most 2005 RX's are premium plus pkg. That's their min. base model.

Like I said mine is on 04 with , AFS, HIDS w/ auto leveling, Polished Graphites, Air suspension ( which I am not sure if that is a standard option), Rain sensing wipers, power rear hatch, Lighted door steps, Power Telescoping Steering wheel, radio controls on steering wheel, surprisingly no wood shift ****( that I order seperate with the body kit) or steering wheel, and anything else I can't remember right now....lol. So the AFS did come with the 04, and maybe it isn't available with the Xenons ( which is another thing I don't know if the lexus uses, I think they use HIDS, cause my Beemer has Xenons and can totally tell the difference, yet both are very bright).

Polished 18-inch graphite wheels, air suspension, AFS, and rain-sensing wipers are the four main features of the "Performance Package". That was the only way to get AFS on the 2004.
The Performance Package did not mix with the Premium Plus Package; thus, no wood steering wheel. There is a lot of overlap in the two packages, so nothing else notable is missing.
Many of the cars with Premium Plus also got shipped with rain-sensing wipers, but that was listed as an option on the sticker. In colder climates, there was an option that combined the rain-sensing wipers with the heated seats.
For 2005, the power back door became standard. (In 2004, it was an option but part of all packages above the basic "Premium".) Also, the wood steering wheel is standard on all models. The six-CD changer became a separate option, although it is still included with the ML audio. Finally, AFS became a part of all packages above the basic "Premium".

Yeah , well also the Beemer has the original Blue tint to the lights, that I have noticed, Nissan/Infinity and Honda/Acura have now copied, along with other manufactures are starting to copy as well, but I can usually tell which is which when I see them on the Road. The Lexus HIDS don't have that blue tint, they are more white.

Oh, one more thing. That color shift, or blue/purple tint is more pronounced in projector HID systems (D2S). Honda/Lexus used to use reflector type HIDs (D2R) until recently when they switched to projector (D2S) systems, thus probably why you notice it more lately. BMW has always used projectors as far as I know.
