There really was no concern about the triple LED's vs. the single LED headlights. I just didn't think the triple was worth $1500.00 over the single headlights. If I could have bought an UL 350 w/o them I probably would have but they just don't come in w/o the triple LED's... Anyway, I now have them and the rest is history...

Edit: HA! I just found out that this car has self leveling LED headlights. First time I drove it at night and saw the lights moving up and down...

I haven't seen a white exterior with black seats. I'll definitely be interested to see how that looks.

Is that a UL feature only?

I think they should all have it as the base system is also LED. I think self-leveling systems are mandated by law for HID/LED/etc.

My new FSport has them as well. I probably would have skipped that option for 1,500 but most have them.

I believe it is an option available on any trim level. Since it has a sportier look and is fairly pricey, I imagine it is typically ordered with the upper trims and f-sport trim. We really like the triple beam led lights on our NX (from both appearance and effectiveness), so I would absolutely want that option.

Black. Gray not an option. I guess it looked that way with the sun hitting on an angle.
