2011 IS250 RWD w/Leather and Moonroof - LED DRL?
Hi, this is my first time posting on the forum but I love all the information on this site! It's nice to have fellow owners supporting each other on the car they love.
I purchased the 2011 IS250 RWD (w/Leather and Moonroof) and am going to perform the LED upgrades as mentioned in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...de-w-pics.html
I know that in 2011 they introduced the LED DRL option, but I'm not sure if I have it or not. Would someone be able to help me determine whether the trim level I purchased has it, or is it something that is purchased individually?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

You should have it, its a standard upgrade In the headlights from 2011+. I also have a 2011 with leather and moonroof and I have the new upgraded headlights with the led drl on the bottom of the headlight housing.

Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if they were stock or not for 2011, and thought it was an option (based on Edmunds.com). I'll take a pic tonight though just to be sure and post it up here.
LED strip? The car is still under warranty (bought it from a Lexus Dealership) but I'm not sure if this is there. Should this be stock as well on the 2011?
So you're saying that LED or HID headlights are optional for 2011?

I'm saying they were optional. I believe in 2011 all of them started coming with it stock. I might be wrong. When I get home later ill look into it. But please post a picture of your headlights and we will be able to assist you more like Jonathanz said.

Spliff I did some research and if you don't get the package with the HID or tell them you want the HID headlights, it will not come with LED DRL. It will come with the basic DRL and halogen bulbs for headlights not the LED DRL with HID.

So it's sounding like I don't have HID then correct?
So if I want to upgrade, I can purchase one of those upgrade kits right? Wasn't really something I wanted to do but will do it if I have to.

Sorry if I sound so stupid when it comes to this stuff, but I have no idea what HID headlights look like. I'm assuming it's the ones with the cooler color temperature (i.e. 5K or 6K bulbs) instead of the yellow ones like mine, but I wasn't sure if mine were HID but just a lower Kelvin.
Is there a way to tell without looking at purely the color of the bulb? Is the shape different or is there some distinguishing characteristic between HID and halogen bulbs?
