Default Fog Lights

Im very disappointed in Lexus. I just realized my FSport don't even come w fog lights!!!! It seems like they're trying to cut cost at anything and everything. Even the key FOB looks and feels cheap comparing to previous.

Im a big fan of amber yellow when it comes to fog lights....bought a pair of H11 without checking and came to realize that my car dont even have fog lights....FML

There are several threads discussing this. You can upgrade the F-Sport with OEM parts and have fog lights. Hell, Tommy from Music Box has done several installs...so if you're close to Southern California, give him a call. Nigel can get you the parts from Japan.

Welcome to the club lol. For some reason "sport" doesn't agree with fogs in the minds of Lexus engineers. Like jtrue said hit up Nigel and he'll get you the whole kit and you'll be golden.... yellow that is.

just throwing this out there but you didn't notice there were no fog lights when you purchased the car. I have amber on my GS which I currently live as they are very different and nobody else has them.

Yea that was my bad and i assumed as a luxury sedan like lexus, my GS Sport would come w stock fog lights as they did for my previous IS, GS, RX and ISF. But enough of venting and whining, ive just purchased a set...just waiting to get them and install.

not just lexus but BMW, Benz & Audi also ditch the fog lights.
i think it's trend that sport cars don't need fog lights.

Yeah Luxury sport sedans dont need fog light because they will spend most of there time taking curves up a mountain road at high speed. At those speeds who needs to light up the road more?
Heck...when you drive the fsport and you encounter real foggy mornings, the foggy weather will dissipate due to the fact that you are driving the sporty version of Lexus, Bmw, Audi. Who needs to see the road anyways if your driving at speeds over 120mph during the night? All of this according to Lexus, Bmw, Audi engineers! "Sarcasm" LOL

Anyways the Premium/Luxury Package version of the '13_'14 Gs350 has those foglights the '14 GS350 also gets upgraded LED Fogs if you buy with Luxury Package.

It's weird that the IS and GS F Sport don't come with fog lights but the ISF comes with fog lights.

That's b/c the ISF came out before the fog-light delete trend started for the "sport" models, IIRC.

It's the same thing with the adaptive front lighting system. Why would luxury owners need it if we're the ones carving mountain sides!?
