Default Lexus ES350 base model - HID included?

Does the Lexus ES350 comes standard with HID lights?

I found the answer to my own question. The HID is an option for this car.

I don't think I have HID with my 2014 ES 350. I am picking the car up on Monday. Is it possible to have the dealer install this for my car or I can only have HID if the car came with it originally from the manufacture?

It must be fitted from the factory (Xenon reflectors here).

See if you can check out the range, projectors vary widely and I've seen halogen projectors outperform some Xenon projectors, and vice versa.

You could put in an aftermarket HID kit...

I'd suggest talking with dealership management, explaining the situation, and seeing if it is possible to swap the vehicle that you were supposed to pick up for one that is equipped the way that you want it to be. As long as the vehicle has not yet been titled, doing so should be a possibility. The dealership doesn't want your ownership experience to get off to a bad start, and, unless the vehicle that you were supposed to get has some very unusual and undesirable combination of options, the dealership should not have an issue with putting that car into its inventory. Doing so might cost you a little bit more than it would have had you ordered the "right" car originally, but any added cost would likely be less than the cost of having some aftermarket HID solution installed.
