Thanks for the great info. It's good to see there is light on the other side of the tunnel, I'll look around and hope to find a control switch that would fit the ES without looking too much of an aftermarket. but happy to know we can override the HID self leveling mechanism.

Just curious on how does the auto HID leveling works in the ES330. Is this triggered by suspension level changes? or is there some kind of sensor to direct the HID to correct its level. Is there a way to modify this and change to a manual leveling. Sometime this HID auto leveling aim so low on a dark freeway that it is almost useless compare to a manual HID leveling. I am used to manual HID leveling on my Infiniti and just loved it. I can manually lower on stop and go traffic to reduce glare on lower cars in front of me and raise it manually for dark freeways. The manual leveling exist to avoid blinding oncoming drivers when your rear is loaded with heavy cargo that it point the front lights higher. Lowering HID level avoids accident to oncoming and avoid flashes from the oncoming traffic.
