F-Sport Models still DO NOT come with LED fog lights.

As Jake pointed out, it's not available with the F-Sport package.

Official press release the 2015 model (which mentions what's "new" for 2015): http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...ws+release.htm

LED Fog Lights are only available for the non-F Sport package IS 250/IS 350. See Slust's post here which mentions "Unique front fascia and grille (F SPORT package deletes foglamps)"

Additionally, here is a video of a 2015 IS350 F Sport model and you can see it doesn't have fog lights:

Of course, you can always go the 3rd party route and purchase them from Joe Z: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...eo-inside.html

Hope this helps,

Yup - in fact, F-Sports don't come with ANY fog lights in the U.S. market, despite them existing in most other markets (wtf Lexus!!)...

The IS in that video is actually a 2014. You can tell in a few ways, they thought they were being clever when they posted it!

I doubt the US market will offer LED Fog's on the F-Sport equipped IS models. I just wish they didn't cost 1k to put them in. But I may bite the bullet after mine comes in. I just think they look awkward without them in the front.

+1 - you're absolutely right. From the exterior, I noticed that the car is the video doesn't have the new F-Sport badge.

Bunch of phonies!

For what it's worth, there are no changes whatsoever to the exterior of the Australian 2015, badges are the same as previous.

What’s New for 2015
LED fog lamps
Siri Eyes Free technology from Apple; compatible with iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 models
Heated/ventilated front seats added to F SPORT (F SPORT AWD also gets heated steering wheel)
Revised interior trim, including piano black on window switches and instrument panel
New Stratus Gray interior replaces Light Gray
Backup monitor adds dynamic grid lines to aid parking maneuvers
Available Lexus Enform Remote
I cannot express how excited I was to see the changes in person. A year after the 2014 debuted, Lexus listened to a vast majority of our concerns (seats, interior etc..) and were proactive about it.

Changing the finish may not mean much to some, but this small change significantly improves the look and feel of cabin. Thank you Lexus
