250: standard: halogen, no led...option: hid + LED
350: standard: hid + led

I believe Jeff Lange and Kurtz mentioned in the past that the sport tuned one is just 1/4" lower at the front so it is barely noticable.

The USB is great color. I actually saw the Starfire Pearl version at Lexus of Bellevue earlier this week. It has been a while since the dealership has gotten a F-Sport car since the trend over here is for the AWD cars.

I managed to get 4 pictures. 2 of them are from the USB ISF 2011 car which was next to the F-Sport car. Both of these cars were places outside on each side of main front entrance outside.

I believe this is correct. For US, I believe they bring in the cars equipped with HID+LED.

I know for Canada, it would be a halogen (for 250) unless one going to pay for the top package or F-Sport package, then it would have HID+LED.

hmmm...could be dealer sensitive.

i got my 2010 a few months ago in NY and that came with halogens.

maybe most US dealers only carry 2011 250s with the HID option, and a higher window sticker.

every 2011 i have seen has been a 250, and they all have the lighting package. im sure the dealers stick you with the LEDs, without a choice...b/c its certainly not the case on the A4s...not all upgrade to LEDs, since they have the option not to.

Did you buy it from Crown Lexus? I just checked out this exact kinda F-Sport IS250 2 weeks ago from them, they were saying it was the only ultrasonic blue at a dealer in Socal at the moment lol

I was disappointed when they didn't just come illuminated. I thought the press release photos from July 2010 showed illuminated sills but when the cars actually came out they weren't.

I guess it has to be a special order build to get the car to have it illuminated onboard.
