The GS came standard with LED headlights starting in the 2016MY refresh. The premium triple beam headlights became more available for the 2017MY, but dealers around me aren't really getting any in stock so they are still a bit rare to find.

For 1160$ I would rather get the power trunk lid and hud.

Those look really good. At a $1160 option I wonder what they will cost for everyone looking to replace theirs when converting to the 2016+ front end.

Doubt it. It's a build option at $1,100. Buying each individual headlamp assembly alone will likely cost $2,500/each.

If I would be buying a car ~$50K, $1.100 upgrade is nothing and definitely would do it...

Hopefully this will be a trend with automakers and it won't be a separate option. I remember when headlights went square in the mid 70's. It appears Acura is going that route from what I'm seeing on some of their line up. Nothing looks as sharp as an F Sport with triple beams.

lol at people in here asking if 1100 is worth the extra upgrade. Trust me, take a ride in it. you'll wish you had it every time you drive past another model with it. but you'll be paying 5k when you could of paid 1100.
