Stock 7". 215/45/ tires.

I am looking to buy some new 17" rims for my Kumho Ecsta ASX tires, does anyone have any recommendations? I'm also checking out tire rack but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.

Thanks!

First of all, the charge for re-aiming the headlights should be far less than $750 -- probably less than $100. I've corrected the headlight aim on many cars over the past 40 years and it has rarely taken me more than 10 minutes total to do both sides of a car -- and that was by doing it the old fashioned, more time consuming way of parking the car in front of a marked wall. As I explained previously in this thread, it is likely that your headlights are in the default position -- they should be perfectly aligned in the default position and that is why they are "projecting together in a straight line". The indicator light (probably) came on because the leveling system is not working and would not be able to compensate if your car is heavily loaded down with passengers and stuff in the trunk. As I said before, there is a diagnostic procedure for the headlight auto-leveling system. It involves checking continuity, resistance and voltage on the actuators, ECU and sensors. My guess is that the entire diagnostic procedure can be performed by a knowledgeable mechanic in less than one hour. Perhaps you need to take your car someplace else. Thanks, sounds like the logical idea. I've got a guy in mind I can take it to.

Thanks, I'll give that a try!

I don't have a copy of the written quote w/ me but believe that included labor and tacking one of those special computers on it where they re-align the lights. The maint tech said it wouldn't take long so it certainly wasn't a lot of labor involved. When I looked at the lights against the garage they seemed to be projecting together in a straight line so i'm not sure why the indicator light even came on in the first place.

I have not had any suspension work done to my car. When I recently took my IS in for its 50k checkup at Lexus they wanted $750 to readjust the levels of the headlights and ultimately reset the orange warning light which came on in my dash. I know how to reset my check engine light but was wondering if there was a similar way to reset the 'headlight warning light'. I have thought about taking it to another mechanic who won't charge an arm and a leg but was wondering if there was an easier way of doing it myself. It does seem like a level sensor issue.

Any ideas on how to turn this headlight warning light off? It just came on in my '04 IS even though the headlights seem to be level.
