Hi all the LX 570 owner's I am thinking to buy the LX, but I wonder do they come with HID? I know the LX 470 didn't have that as an option? I wonder such as a expensive truck don't come with HID

no it does not. for lexus, the car sits too high and with hid it will produce too much glare

that make sense, but it suck for such a expensive car without hid

yup, definitely a bummer, although i think they did somehow make the halogen projectors look "better"

i think some people did put in their own hid kits

also if you look at the new gx, the low beam area is intentionally "lowered" to squeeze in the hid. previous generation gx didn't have hid for the same resaon

Lexus is looking for excuses. If aimed properly, HID's would be fine. In a few years, they'll probably change their mind and give us HID's.

yeah, I can't believe Lexus not install HIDs in all the Lexus, and make some of them as optional? Acura all has HID

True, Lexus's any HID excuse is not acceptable.

My car have HID but only in high beam.

only in the US I believe that Lexus won't equipped the LX570 with HID's but most of the LX570 that is offered outside US are equipped with HID's. In Manila, its a standard feature.

My 2011 LX 570 comes no HID in Canada. So SAD...

We sell HID for non HID projector headlight! We also do retrofit for all kind of cars as well!!

i believe lx570 us spec do have projectors, just not hid ready. and from what i read the trick on putting in hid kits is the afs. a lot of people got error because the afs setup and end up having to cut out the plastic cap cover in the back. if you have a clean solution i am sure people would be happy

I agree with the above, just excuses after excuses from Lexus. I got sick and tired of their excuses and I got the problem fixed myself.

Extremely bright white lights from my 4300K HIDs pierce through darkness at night, renders my Night Vision System useless.

So there is no way to do a factory special order HID? HID does not exist on US spec LX570's at all? Is there an official explanation from Toyota/Lexus anywhere as to why this is the case? I see where people are saying that the projector eyes sit too high, but is that for real?

correct, hid is not an option here in the US at all. there is never an explanation (official one, at least), but if you talk to any lexus people at shows or so, they will tell you the reason i mentioned. not saying i buy that, but then again that seems to be in line with why the previous lx/gx didn't have it. and then new gx has it where you see they intentionally "lower" the location of the projectors
