I just noticed on some pictures that the 300H looks like it has factory built LED for the reverse lights..is that correct? it looks like it can be an upgradeable feature, not sure about the plugs but I think some one with electrical skills can be an easy conversion..

can anyone confirm this for me

look at the difference, I see 4 large LEDS

Yes they are LED but not reverse lights but fog lights (by law in Europe). Rear Fog light ON





Rear Fog light OFF

so you only have a reverse light on your passenger side?

or some how they both light up when you put into reverse.

Now, my next questions. I have the foglights with the European stalk installed that I got from Nigel. It has the rear fog light on off. Is it prewired? so I can just get the rear fog ?

TheForce

Reverse on passenger side and Fog light on driver side.
Rear fog light on/off is a toggle on the stalk, but we are only allowed to use the rear fog light when visibility is below 50 meters only with rain or snowfall. Unlawful use forces you to donate 147 Euro to the state
I don't know if it is pre-wired, for European cars a rear fog light is required by law.

I hate getting stuck behind German car drivers that have this feature on their cars and who cluelessly ride with it on even on clear nights, hurts my eyes.

TheForce

That's why they invented the 147 Euro donation

Maybe we need to start a donation fund here in the states! It can be in Euros for even more pain to their wallets.

Just light up your high beams and keep them on, except when meeting oncoming traffic
They blind just as effectivly as as a rear fog light

I might try that but honestly these people are so clueless they would just be and wondering why I was picking on them, lol.

Imagine how things are here in europe, where every car has one of these rear fog lights.
People are just as clueless here...

On another note, front fog lights are illegal to use in the night time here, unless it is foggy or poor weather conditions. And police always pulls you over if you use them illegally. Up to about 350$ fine.
But I have not ever seen anybody get pulled over for having the rear fog light on in good weather. Even tho that is a lot more blinding than front fog lights from my point of view.

Lexus should have made the same light on the other side with led for the reverse. Now it looks like two sides are different.
