Questions about Lexus NX
So I'm a long time Acura owner. I've owned & still own a few Acuras. I was thinking about switching to Lexus and with the airbag recall, I've decided to switch to Lexus. So I test drove the NX and the RX. I like the NX more because of its size. RX seems a little big for me.
Anyway they gave me a really good offer for my Acura trade-in (more than Acura - I feel like Lexus is stepping up to fix my Acura issue). The one I'm getting is 2016 Lexus NX 200T F Sports fully loaded. My question is how come the headlights on that car is not the same as the ones I see on Lexus.com? <br > <br >
Also when will 2017 NX come out? Hate to buy this now and 2 months later they have a newer one.
Thank you!!!!

The ones you see on the website are the optional "Triple Beam LED" headlights. The ones installed in the vehicle you are looking at are a standard HID headlight. I have a 2016 NX200t F-Sport and really wanted the LED headlights. Apparently they are a rare option to get because there were only a few in the country in the color combo I wanted with the LED headlights. That being said we love our NX with the standard HID headlights and I no longer consider that big of a option lost.

That's because the car you are looking at isn't a "fully loaded" NX F-sport. The headlights that come standard with the F-sport are LED too, but they just aren't the premium triple-beam LED headlights, which are optional ($1160). The standard F-sport LED headlights have cornering fog lights, if that helps...
2017MY tends to roll out around September/October.

The term fully loaded is tossed around a lot. It's best to check out the options etc. to make sure the description is accurate. Well equipped or nicely equipped sometimes is a bit more accurate.

I totally agree. I hope I don't have to wait long. I'm driving a rental (Nissan Altima) that Acura gave me. I hate it. I paid for a luxury car and I'm stuck driving around this rental car. I also have to pay insurance for it too. So stupid.

The standard option is LED as well. Standard has an incandescent high-beam, where as the triple LED have all LED (and option of auto high-beams). Matter of fact, all the lights are LEDs (turn sigs, DRL, fogs) Functionally, they are work about the same, they are just lights. And how often do you use your high-beams? not too often huh

It won't be standard. Unlikely to make a $1500 option standard when the current standard is LED already.
That said, the triple beam is a little brighter than the standard LED with projector. I wouldn't get it for the increased brightness, but it does make everything LED and you get the better DRL lights I believe (could be wrong, member NXOwner can confirm). It does make the front end much more striking tho IMO, but its a steep cost.

And yes, the lighting package does include the upgrade to the nicer daylight running lights.

I agree. I can't see them making these standard. The triple beam LEDs are very striking and to be fair, they provide better illumination than the HIDs on our former RX. I really like them but are they really worth the cost? Depends on your perspective and budget. Haven't driven one with the standard LED lighting so really can't compare there.
