Everytime you start the engine, should your light always move up and down
to determine that your automatic leveling light system is working ?
I'm asking because I had an accident and they had to remove my front
combination lamp, now I don't experience that up and down movement of
the light anymore. But so far I don't see any warning light. So that means
my headlight is level ?

If you've got HID lights, they should level themselves; if the car is new enough to have AFS, they should move right and left, as well, all at vehicle startup.

I only notice the HID leveling (up and down) on startup if I'm parked on an incline. If I'm parked on a level surface, I don't notice it. Doesn't mean it's not doing it, but it's certainly not as dramatic.

(to correct my previous posting of up & down motion of the HID). I'll try to
observe for some more nights start up if it's still not doing it I will bring it back
to the collision center. (Anyway it's a LEXUS collision center so they can
correct it.)
Thanks every body for all your helpful reply.

My lights move up/down and side to side every time I start the car! I do keep my lights on all the time so I see it immediatly when I start! It doesnt matter if you are on a hill or level ground they move each start.
