   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. *TR
