I agree all rx350 should come with triple LED like the MDX. But would you be ok if Lexus increase +$1500 to rx350 base price if they include the Triple LED. You know they don't give anything away. Just like the 2017 rx350 come with the safety system but it was $650 more than 2016. Either way they will get our money.

i have a 2017 NX F Sport and it definitely has triple beam LED headlights.

Mine have both those options and Navigation. I love it

I was considering the triple beam LEDs until I saw this report below. Seems the triple beams are strictly for looks but not so much illumination.

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/veh.../rx-4-door-suv

Click on left tab "Headlights" which compares all 3 options:

• Bi-LED Headlamps with Adaptive Front Lighting System package - Rating: Acceptable
• Premium Triple-Beam LED Headlamp package - Rating: Marginal
• Stock LED projector - Rating: Marginal

The beam path is far greater on the Bi-LEDs and the triple doesn't have the adaptive feature for turning. The triple as adaptive fogs I believe but only at slow speeds or turn signals.

You're a little late to the game here. We all know this.

apex47, we have a discussion about IIHS top picks including their rating of the LED headlights over here. This thread is talking about LED headlight availability on the F-Sport.

You should not get the triple beams. I like things one of a kind and you live in SD, if you get it, we'll both have triple beams and what if I come to SD for a trip and see your car there. My car won't be one of a kind anymore.

But seriously, if that was the reason you aren't going to get it, look at the other topic, we talk about the pros vs the cons and there are way more PROS than cons.

apex47

What other thread are you referring to? I tried to do a search and didn't find one that had pros and cons of the triple beam other than looks.

aznkorboi

I know it's in one of the long threads. I tried finding it too but couldn't

Quickly:

Triple beam increases resale value

If you're a guy, the look is way more masculine and menacing with a car that is meant as a family car for women

Light output may be decreased than bi-led's but there is no glare according to the study. When you raise the headlight a little, the light shines further up the road with minimal glare increasing the visibility.

The light is very widespread so having directional headlights are unnecessary because it already lights up the road

The most important thing is the LED turn signals. This alone is very eye catching and safe for other driver to see you in their lane. ALso it looks amazing.

So although the light output may not be as great, it is still plenty bright enough to safely see on the road.

yup I got my triple LED with my loaded F sport too

I have them on our FSport as well. They look so much better than the standard headlights. They are a must IMO.

Is there a physical difference between the triple beam headlights w/o adaptive vs. the triple beam headlights with adaptive?

GoHuskers

NO - because Triple LED beam does NOT have adaptive feature.

When you look at the Lexus web site for headlight it list two different part number for the headlight;
81110-0E280 - With led triple beam. With adaptive headlamps. Triple beam, with auto high-beam.
81110-0E290 - With led triple beam. Without adaptive headlamps. Triple beam, without auto high-beam.
