Headlights Problems of Lexus LS430

The contact owns a 2004 Lexus Ls430. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he noticed that the headlights were not angled straight and causing limited illumination of the highway ahead of him. In addition, the afs warning light was illuminated on the instrumental panel. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and they advised him that he would need to replace the height control sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they advised him that they would get back to him in five to seven days. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

A sensor failed (afs) on my 2004 Lexus 430 that locked the headlights into a very low position - the effective lighting on low beam is such that visibility is only 20-30 feet. Upon searching the web I found out this is a common failure and required replacing a simple sensor on the rear axle costing app. $450 parts and labor. I am looking to repair, but am concerned about the condition it was left defective - it appears the failure default position at low beam is dangerous.

I would like to complain about the new "blue" hid headlights on some cars. The glare I experience from this is terrible. If one vehicle passes, the loss of sight is tolerable, but if 2 or more hid equipped vehicles come at me at night, the glare and subsequent loss of vision is totally unacceptable.

The headhight only shines about 40 to 60 feet in front of the left headlight when on low beam, then it is completely dark from there on. Had lights checked and adjusted. Would like to know how far low beam should shine in front of a car.
