This was discussed in another thread and my take was that it isn't a light but some type of sensor for intelligent auto high beam or something. .been a while since I visited that thread but search and you'll find it

It's the light for the night view system which humans can't see because of the spectrum of light it emits.

Thanks! for your respond. Maybe I'm not clear I have 2014 LS460 F Sport with two projector head light it "not LED head light" the deal say that only the outer one is functional in US. The Inter one is for oversea functional. I would like to know if someone out there can able to get the inter one working. thanks you!

I don't know about the 2014. On the earlier LS460's the inner light is the daytime running light. Check your setup menu and see if there is an option to turn DRL on or off. I have a 2012 GX where you can do this.

i have a 2013 LS460 and have yet to get that damn light to even flicker... good luck. As CJ stated above, it is not a light, your guess is as good as mine as far as finding out what it actually is. AFAIC if it serves no purpose, why is it there? i as well as countless others have tried every combo to get that damn thing to work.

Its Easy, just need a electro diagram of the HID to main block, then mb to switch/ once you do a trace you can figure it out, of course knowing an engineer or two in Lexus HQ in Torrance, may help also, lol. LS640FS are you near LA or San Diego?

Nice headlight system on your when I got my there is no car out there with that package that I'm look for so I got this one with only two projector inside.
