Last night when driving home I noticed that the AFS light was flashing. I dismissed it because I was almost home and both headlights were on.

Fast Forward to this morning: I get into my car and notice the AFS light was still flashing. My auto-headlights fire up...but only one side. I get out out to check and find condensation in my passenger-side headlight assembly. blinker/DRL still works, but my HID does not.

So after some research, I found a replacement for roughly $800+ for the HID, w/ auto-level and w/drl. I assume it's gold crusted and made with tears of an angel.

Another option is a HID assembly w/o auto-level and w/o drl...that's ~$300. But if I replace it with that...will I have a forever-blinking AFS light? what problems/issues/annoyances will I run into?

I'm at a loss and needs some advice/help/whatever. Anything is appreciated.

Soo after taking it all apart and seeing what could be salvaged I found that my stock ballast was full of water. That was already after pouring out about a cup of water from the entire headlight assembly itself. I'll keep ya'll updated.

I was able to successfully dry out the entire headlight assembly, along with the ballast. It fired up last night and did it's "pre-flight" check and did the swivel-in/swivel-out so I knew the AFS was working. Happy I saved a $1000 on this.

BUT....now my projector is pointed too far to the right/passenger side. When I drove around last night I noticed that it was pointed towards the sidewalk, not on the road like it used to be. The AFS still worked, just wayyyy too far right. I tried to manually correct it, then start the car again, but the swivel-in/swivel-out caused it to move back to that same position I moved it from.

So my question to ya'll is...any idea how to correct this?

How did you end up fixing this? I'm having the same issue with my car. Thank you!
