even white is starting to look good in that pic :-)


then again, good thing about no-fogs is that you could add them yourself and you end up having unique IS F-Sport :-)

I guess we're the opposite on the LED Fogs..

I would rather have the factory installed wiring harness with proper OEM stalk and everything else involved to make it work just like OEM.

92% agree..!!

After doing this many times on several US Spec GS350 F-Sport models, I can tell you it's not for the novice..

WTF! Standard 3IS models gets the foglights, but the F Sport model does not? They should at least make it an option. It'll probably be included on the refresh cycle. Come on Lexus USA, listen to us!

+1 for the yelloow fog light crew!

Yet another good reason why not to get this new 3IS right away. As sexy as it is I think I'll wait for a refresh where the fogs and a new engine will be added ...... 2015 or 2016 hopefully ??

The new Fogs are LED based and pure white... Just like the new 2013 LS460...

Yellow would be a great way to pay homage to the original Yellow Fogs found on 01'-05' Lexus IS300 sold in the USA and other regions..
(Japan sold the Toyota Altezza with white fog lights, from 1999-2005)

Below is the "Original" RHD Photo w/ LED Fogs... corrected by Lexus USA today 1/22/13
At the first day, they showed the RHD with fog, I commented on their facebook page that the car doesn't come with fog or RHD, so they should take down their picture. Never thought they would listen. LOL
