2013+ LS's with Bi-Xenon Lights
Question for you LS guys. How do you turn on the inner lens? When using High and Low beam they share the same outer lens. I've read several threads that say US spec ones don't function because they are 'dumbed down' compared to European versions. The hardware seems to be there, but missing the AHS technology (vs our IHS)? On the Lexus website this LS F-Sport has both on. So whats the skinny? Anyone able to confirm or deny the functionality of the inner lens? Thanks!

Heh, interesting, I never noticed or paid much attention to whether that inner light came on.
I would guess maybe in different countries, with different laws, could allow them to come on, like maybe simultaneous high/low beams?
I know those inner bulbs are typically reserved for DRL, but having been supplanted by the LEDs, they are no longer needed. Actually, come to think of it, my RL had the inner bulbs for DRL AND high beams.

It does indeed but you bring up a good point, if you could somehow look at the housing to see if the projector just needs a bulb and ballast you could run it independently like you would installing retrofits in factory housings except the benefit here is the projectors are there.
Oooooohhh even better you could wire them up as "demon eyes" or alternate colored DRLs! Damn! I should've did more digging when I upgraded my lights last month!

On vehicles with three lenses like my 460L with the LED headlight package (and 600hLs), the outer two lenses light up for low and high beams. In a quick check, I could not tell whether the high beam causes the outermost lens to get brighter or the middle lens. The innermost (3rd) lens does not illuminate, and in my car acts as the infra-red illuminator for the pedestrian detection system. I believe in European and Japanese models, this lens functions both as a visible light and an IR light source.

There are times when it's prudent to use the search feature and there are times when a new post is warranted. I believe this is one of those times. To date I haven't seen anyone utilize that lens and would love to see someone attempt to do so whether it be to activate the light, create a demon eye or DRL. Had this thread been created before I did my bulb exchange I might've done some more research myself.
So if anyone has utilized this lens please feel free to share.
