This time the triple beams performed better than the standard LEDs.

That is good to see. Up to now, most LED headlights have performed worse than Xenon HID or even halogen headlights. The problem with LED headlights has been that they are so bright at the source, which requires a sharp cutoff at the top of the beam to avoid blinding oncoming drivers, and that sharp cutoff has limited the range of the beam. I hope that Lexus has figured out how to do LED headlights better than has previously been the case.
