Awesome Bob - thanks for posting this. I lifted and leveled my 460 and the lights were aimed too high so I followed this video and am in the process of aiming them down - just waiting for it to get dark and do some road testing tonight to dial it in now.
Thanks bob.. i also have the auto level light error on. I will try to check the connections again.. hopefully we can fix that check headlight system error soon.
@@GXBOB The guys at clublexus forum did not get any errors- everything works good. Let me know if you want the link. His harness is different from ours too.
@@xtianr1m824 I saw that link but the guy (Zhao) did not provide clear instructions step by step on how to wire it up. It was very vague. Send me the link and lets see if we're talking about the same Zhao. Send to Luckyapril7@hotmail.com Thanks.
@@xtianr1m824 I may return this set if the decoder crap does not work. I already went this far, i might as well finish it off instead of fight the supplier over who owns the shipping costs to return the set.
@@GXBOB Same here, im trying to get refund/partial refund if they cannot fix the errors. It was supposed to be plug and play with no errors on dash. Also my auto leveling is not even working. Good luck to us gettimg a refund or partial Refund at least.
Hi Bob, I just installed these aftermarket headlights back in October and had no issues with the light indicator popping on the dash. Try plugging in the bottom front signal into the extra Y harness. Im running both turning signals and converted the bulbs to the VLED V6 Triton Switchback bulbs to use for both foglights and turning signal.
Hi Bob, I also noticed your packaging and harness location is different from mine in your other video. Im guessing we both purchased from different manufacturers. Mine doesn't have the Lexus logo on the top corner.
Do i recommend autoleveling and light adjustments? Or the headlights themselves? If its the headlights, i replaced my chinese knockoffs with AlphaRex ones shortly after and they work great.
I'm really worried about what just started going on my with 2014 Lexus GX460 "Base Model" Headlights.......Anyone who could tell me what's causing this would be very much appreciated! I have the auto leveling Headlights on mine and I don't know if all base models do or what but when I start my GX up the lights are leveling out "VERY SLOWLY" and the one Headlight on the right seems to be shining up Slightly higher than the left.......Is this a problem with a sensor, computer or the Headlights themselves......I know the OEM Headlights are about 1k each!
1. The one light pointing too high is not a problem. Happens all the time due to slack in the brackets when installing them. The holes for the bolts are not close tolerance holes. Just needs to be zeroed out with manual adjustment per the video. 2. Unplug all the plugs behind the headlights and check both the male and female connectors for corrosion and water damage. 3. Check the main harness below your driver side headlights forward of your driver wheel for water damage and corrosion. 4. One headlight moving slower than the other is most likely internal wear of a 10 year old motor. But if both headlights are moving extra slow (I’m assuming you compared it with another GX and determined the speed was abnormal), then the issue may be components outside the headlights such as poor ground,ecu,etc…your best bet is to buy a set of aftermarket lights and switch them out to do some process of elimination. If it’s not the lights then at least you can return it for a refund. (Ahem …Amazon)
@GXBOB Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to figure it out.......I have never thought of replacing the headlights themselves on this particular vehicle because they are so nice. Even though my GX has about 114k miles on it now the headlights are really clean and look really good I think. For instance on my 98 BMW 328i I had it was actually a huge upgrade buying aftermarket headlights because the BMW had cheap plastic faded headlights with basic bulbs in them. I got the glass Depo Projecter Headlamps with the angel eyes in them and used really nice PIAA bulbs.
Hey Bob, do you know if these headlights can be adjusted side to side? I just installed mine and I feel as though both sets need to be adjusted farther to one side to center balance.
@@zaimurrahman8977 th-cam.com/video/UQ06Q8l_2XQ/w-d-xo.html Look at 5:21. Loosen all 4 bolts that hold each headlamp but do not remove them. After you loosen all 4 bolts, move your headlamps left and right till you get it straight. Once you get it to where you want it. Tighten your bolts down. I think your headlamps have quite a bit of play in them and may have been previously removed but not put back straight. Thats my guess.
@@nubunsangjun7740 I do not know the wattage but i removed my old HID powered projector headlamps and replaced them with full LED upgrades which are standard on 2020+ models.
They range from $1400 with shipping and up on Ebay for both left and right. These are the ones coming from China. Condensation hasn't been tested yet nor is there a fix for error message on diagnostic screen available yet. I would sit tight if i were you unless you like living dangerously.
@@GXBOB Mine was $1440 for headlights grille and emblem. Only headlights was shipped by DHL 5-7 days transit. Fast shipping.. then i had to add $150 to ship for the grille/emblem 20-21 style. Still waiting for the grille, it was shipped by sea 25-30 days 🤞🏻 - ordered mines from alibaba apps.
Jeez.... I can wait.... THE GOOD: Looks Great THE BAD: Glitches AND THE UGLY: 'Maybe' there will be a solution from China... -If you couldn't tell by now, I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan....LOL!
yeah, i can totally tell u are. The good thing is i bought it thru ebay, paypal, and american express platinum. I'm pretty confident i'll get my money back if this decoder thing they sent me doesn't work.
Ray, there are a few models of these headlights on the market. I don't provide the link because I don't stand behind their quality just yet. They are fairly new on the market and have yet to see rainy weather and/or long usage. $1500 investment for something made in China is not a very comfy gamble. I'll wait till i am more certain.

Hey Bob, did you ever make a video of you converting the turn signal to fog lights?
@@naroumsowanna4621 yes I did! Here is the link.

Hello, great video. Did you get the by bass for the error??
Great info Bob. Thanks for posting Bob.
You bet. Lights are not too shabby. Now just waiting for a rainy day to see how they hold up. Ugh...
Good day ser tnx for the tips but my problem is the fog lamps
You have video for that one ser! Thank you I'm from PH! thank you in advance 😊
foglamps don't have a self adjuster. You might want to check how your bulbs are seated in the chamber if its misaligned.
Thanks bob.. i also have the auto level light error on. I will try to check the connections again.. hopefully we can fix that check headlight system error soon.
We've tried everything. I"m just going to wait for whatever bypass module this seller is going to send me.

How do you disable 2012 Lexus gx460 AFS that is flashing?
I believe the 2014-2019s also have LEDs for low beam..and that stupid halogen for highs..correct me if I’m mistaken..
I've never used the highbeams in my entire life....hence the awesome 48 LED spot light blasters below my grille.
Thank you! Good job😊
No problem 😊

2 year update? Do you recommend them?

So all 2014 GX460 equipped with auto leveling headlamp? Or is it optinal feature?
From where you buy the kit 😍 thank u🙏🏻
The headlights were from ebay and the front grill was from Bell Lexus in Arizona

use a cordless screwdriver with a long phillips bit and go directly into the gear. way easier and faster.
Great tip Kevin, thanks.
Is the new one brighter than the older headlights ?
Yes, a lot brighter. I love them. they even look badass when they signal .
@@GXBOB do you know how many watt are the new one vs the old one? I might have to get a new set if it worth it like you said.
@@nubunsangjun7740 I do not know the wattage but i removed my old HID powered projector headlamps and replaced them with full LED upgrades which are standard on 2020+ models.
so how did the lights go up when you start up
There is an internal motor within the headlamp assembly.
ok
hey i did not see auto leveling motor on your headlamp
The motor is built into the assembly
Thank you
Ok
