Anyone else have trouble even seeing the foglights while our HIDs were on? After I did a few rotations on the driver side and realized I couldn't tell a thing....I gave up. Went to the passenger side and did a few turns....blah.
This was a great and easy-to-do write up btw! THANKS!

Does anyone know if this headlight adjustment can be done with a vehicle with AFS? I tried looking for the gears, but there is no cylinder housing shown in the pictures before. I don't see an adjustment screw.
I brought it to the dealer before and they said that the vehicle cannot have the headlight adjusted and that the AFS adjusts it themselves. I call BS. I have searched everywhere for someone to show pictures of how to adjust a car with AFS but I could not find anything. Anyone please give input on this? My headlights are aimed way lower than vehicles without AFS.
I did find the adjustment for the foglights though, but it appears that there isn't a headlight adjustment screw for the AFS...Thanks for the help guys in advance!

The AFS headlights do have the adjustment ***** as well, but they're in a slightly different location from the non-AFS equipped housings. I have the AFS on the car and a non-AFS housing as a spare (originally to swap out the clear plastic covers as my old lights were crazing).
I have read on the FSM that for those with AFS, the adjustment needs to be done at the dealership, but so far the **** adjustments i've made have remained intact.

I forgot to make clear in my previous post that my car is a Sedan, not a coupe. My car does not match the pictures in the second page of this post. It has the foglights integrated with the headlight. Can someone post a pic of where a sedan with AFS adjustment **** would be?

If you guys are going to adjust your headlight that has AFS, please take a pic of the AFS headlight adjustment and e-mail me it and Ill post it up here.
Yes with projectors its typical for the right cut off beam to be higher and to overlap the left cut of beam. I do mention this at the bottom of the DIY at step #6.

I'm going to try adjusting my headlights with AFS on a 07 sedan...but I'll have to look for the headlight adjuster gear. I couldn't find it before, and it was not in the same location as the pictures before. If I do find the adjuster, I'll try to post pics up. Otherwise, I'm also in need of advice of where it is located.
Is there one of those tamperproof cylinder housings on the sedans with AFS? Because that would really suck if I wanted to adjust my headlights. I don't want to void the warranty until my car reaches 60k miles...

I think I found the adjuster. However, there is a tamper proof cover over it like what the previous poster said. I was wondering if that is the actual adjuster, because some other person told me it was for lateral adjustment, and that the vertical adjustment shouldn't have a tamper proof cover. Pleaes let me know if yours has one. Thanks in advance

Here you go. Just posted some descriptive photos on my site, with links to the full-sized images. They're fairly visible and with the proper length screwdriver, pretty accessible.
