So,
While driving at dusk earlier this week my automatic headlights kicked on as usual. In the same instant the dash and all lights turned off, there was a mechanical clunk (could have been a quick pulse from brakes, it was instant on/off) from the drive line and then wound up with the dash lit up (photo attached). Not sure I've ever heard of this particular issue before. Do we think it could have been a bad ground somewhere? The auto headlights causing all this is extremely confusing.

ABS module was replaced with a new unit about 3 years ago at a Lexus dealer, so hoping to cross that off the list. Disconnected the battery for about an hour and lights sadly didn't go away.

Has anyone ever seen a link/issue between the headlights and ABS system?

Strangest occurrence for me in my 15+ years with this car.

Haven't had it scanned yet, came up to the mountains for Christmas. Just seemed like a really strange series of events.
 
Maybe a sensor . . .
 
So I had it at AAA near me and the code readers aren't showing anything at all. Probably need to get her back up to Charlotte to get it figured out properly. Not crazy about the shop options here in Columbia...
 
Fun times ahead.
