Default Triple Beam LED headlights on F-Sport?

Hi everybody. My dealer said F Sports can't get Triple Beam LED headlights. However, I see this available on the Lexus Build site. Anyone out there have this option? Thanks!

If your dealer is in NY, then maybe he meant you cant get it unless you special order one. I know that all f sport coming to ny tri state area are without, led triple beam, lexus saefty system and panoramic view camera.

I wonder why that would be the case? I figure all launch configurations would be the same..
My F sport has the triple beam headlights and they are spectacular! The look of the triple lights really set it apart.

Dealers always want to sell you one on their lot. They gave you that answer in hopes you would give in and buy one on there lot. Most of the time they would even say you cannot special order one. They always want to make money now and if you special ordered, they would have to wait 4 months before they can get the sale from you. 4 months is a long time, during that time you may change your mind or even buy another car from someone else which means they would have lost your business.

An example of this is me. I special ordered my GS and waited months and I got impatient and ended up buying another GS that someone else special ordered that almost had all the options i wanted. Apparently that guy special ordered my car and also could not wait and ended up getting one on the lot at a different dealership. He is also another forum member on clublexus going by the name 5thAvenue.

Default Yeah, you are right.

I live in Northeast, and apparently no F Sports w Triple LED was sent to the region. So I have to special order it, and dealer is saying I would lose out on their Dec to Remember specials. I would be paying msrp for a special order.

Lexus dealers just hate special ordering lol Hence why BMW is soo much better in this aspect. They encourage special orders since their mindset, is one more customer, and overall overhead for having a car ready to go to the customer then spend time on the lot.

Anyways if your dealer is being uncooperative, try another one. Usually, once the paperwork is signed for your order, any incentives are locked in.Best done through Lexus Fin. since outside lenders require a VIN to approve the loan

The issue I am encountering is that it is more difficult to find the RX with JUST the triple beam headlight option. Although on the Lexus website you can build the F-sport with the triple-beam as a stand alone option I am encountering that if you want the triple beam headlights it comes with the lexus safety system +. If you are like me I hate all of that technology stuff, I'm fine with the blind spot monitor and rcta. So I would think that if you want just the triple beam headlights they will be a special order.

Btw, the turn signals on the RX and GS with the triple beam option look so bad ***, there sleek and modern looking. If you haven't seen them i recommend searching and looking at how awesome the turn signals look.

I personally would take the extra LSS+ its super cheap compared to what others are charging for it.

However As I said before, Lexus is pulling the famous Ford tagline "You can have any colour as long as it's black" but in this case "you can have any vehicle as long as its on lot"

This mentality works for econo brands, but if you want to attract the BMW customer base you need to be more flexible Lexus.

Right now the count is:

F sports are hard to find in white
TBH are ordered with LSS or nothing
Pano View monitor is not available
12.3 nav includes ML
Pano roofs are hard to find in some regions

I agree, I had a BMW and mercedes before my lexus. I still think lexus is more attractive because you get more bang for your buck. Where Lexus will give you a 500 dollar safety system BMW will give it to you for much more. Thats what attracted me anyway. And the reliability of course.
