Triple Beam LED headlights on F-Sport?

I wouldn't lord it over non-LED owners quite yet:
HIDs are just as bright and the light dispersion for high beam is better. Also HID has the benefit of turning headlights although that's not in the 2016 RX. Plus the cost for replacing the LED headlight that went out is going to be enormous.

Also, there was a topic on the LED replacement, they said the LEDS would out live the car for how long the light output lasts. Something like if you leave it on 24/7 it lasts 10 years or something?
And with the cornering head lamps plus the fog lights, it is still very bright when cornering. Would have loved it to turn and go up and down like they do in Japan though.

The LED cornering lights help, but they are definitely not as cool as my old RX where the car looks left and right. My LED lights go up and down though? Does yours not do that at startup?

Yeah LEDs will technically outlast the car and still provide a lot of output, but that's what they said about fluorescent lights for homes. And I have replaced plenty of those lights...also it'll be at least 4X as expensive to replace LED lights if not more.

WHen i'm on a hill, I'll see that the headlights go down a little bit as well.
True! Afraid with what the LED replacement would cost.. but we will let future chris and future eric san worry about that

It's scary, the triple LED option alone is $1615. And since there's three in each light probability-wise it's more like to break than BMW/Mercedes 2-light system. But it is a Lexus so hopefully they will hold up...

I have a ultra white/red awd 350 f sport with all options. Triple beam, safety system +, pano roof, hud, and everything else that you could get. In fact my local dealer only had loaded f sports on the lot at the Tacoma Wa dealership. My second RX and 3rd Lexus and by far the best so far, and I love it.
I am building a GS with this option...trying to justify the cost lolol

No, they only move up and down. You get a little LED light near the fog lights that light up when you turn or use your signal light. Definitely helps
