Has anyone had any problems with the headlights turning?
I notice the passenger side working but the drivers side I can't really tell if it is, I recently changed the bulbs and I don't know if something would be obstructing it.

The bulbs, as you know, will only go in one way to make them fit flush in the socket. You're car seems too new for the AFS motor to need replacement. Try placing your car with the headlamps facing a wall at night, or in your garage with the door down. Turn the steering wheel in both directions and you should see them move.

The left one is only active at speeds over 16mph; IIRC from the owner's manual.

As per 2-37 in the owner's manual:

The AFS will operate:
. when the headlight switch is ON.
. when the selector lever is in any
position other than P (Park) or R
(Reverse).
. when the vehicle is driven at above 16
MPH (25 km/h) for the left-side headlight.
Note that the right-side low beam
headlight will swivel but the left side
will not swivel when the vehicle is
below 3 MPH (5 km/h) and the steering
wheel is turned. The vehicle must attain
a speed above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
before AFS activates the left-side headlight.

Speaking of AFS lights, has anyone lowered their cars with an AFS-equipped car? Any issues with sensors and etc?

I will be lowering soon'ish. I've never heard of this affecting anyone on the Y50 sub-forum, so can't imagine it would effect this car.

Also, just an FYI, the driver side light works at 5mph but ONLY after you've managed to reach 16 or whatever first. I say this because when I pull into my long driveway which has a bend in it, mine still works. However, when I'm leaving the house, it does not.

I'm on coils with the AFS headlights and don't have any issues.
