Did any of the Evolutions in the USDM get this feature?
My mechanic told me that its connected to the lower control arms which will intern be the primary factor for controlling the light adjustment. I dont really have any concrete fact to this, guess I will look the next time I go onto a ramp.

This is exactly how VWs auto leveling works, so it would make complete sense.

Solved...

Hello guys,

Can I tell you that its the first I have seen the auto focus worked last night and I have this car over a year now.
I was backing up into a driveway which has an incline, so on going up the driveway I observed the head lights moving upwards automatically, I was like what the hell is happening here. Proceeded to go down back the incline and saw the headlights pointing back down, I repeated this for about 3 times guys and then came to the conclusion that the JDM IX MR has some form of auto leveling device which computes the foucs of the headlamps pre-determined by the level of the enitre car...cool huh

JDM tends to be superior to the USDM Evo's , as a matter of fact whenever I'm purchasing stuff from the US for my JDM IX, a lot of reading has to be done prior to doing that. There are lot of dfferences between the two, some minuscule whilst others significant.
