The IIHS just rated the performance of many headlights, and many BMW and Mercedes LED headlights were in the poor and marginal range.

If you wanted the features like "full stop for cruise control, power trunk, and standard LED headlights," then you should've gotten the 2016+ GS, because all of those have become available. Nav system definitely needs to be updated...maybe some Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integration would be nice.

I have a 16 Corolla S plus the LED headlight are pretty nice and bright actually.

IIHS takes big points away for glare because while the driver can see better, it reduces overall safety on the road.

Special order.

Or buy the parts separately and install. However, that would be idiotic. Buying them separately would cost several thousand, whereas getting them as an option is MSRP $1,700.

There was someone selling a set on eBay, but the price of the auction was around $5K. They're not worth that.

They do look good, though.

What part of KY are you in?

Nice! Now they have to change the tail lights. If only they can make the bottom horizontal red light flat like on the new RXs. I don't like the angling.
