Unfortunately, I've yet to see a new LS on the road at night. To tell you the truth, I've haven't seen many period. They look great but I still would like to see them lit at night.

$6000 for a set of headlights is still not cheap . . .

Guys, you are breaking Henry's heart

Well, I think if you just do the LED headlights switch, that alone doesn't make you a poseur, but the rest of the kit with the blue hybrid badges, etc., those are

lol, i can care less.

right, i think changing everything to hybrid is chessy at best. if i were to do it (first i need to get the car...) i would only do headlights. 6000 is a lot of money of course, but for a 80k car? that's less than 10k. look at wheels and body kits and other parts for the car and seriously this is not that outrages.

and to feel better, look at stuff for european high end cars

but wheels plus body kit plus $6000 headlights together do add up to a pretty hefty sum, I guess I am stingy with these things Yes, I have to think about getting the car first too

For anyone that was thinking of retrofitting the LS hybrid LED headlights onto their regular LS460, well there is now a kit to do it if you're willing to spend that much on it .

Then again, I wonder if it would be more worth it to spend the extra money and just get an LS hybrid .

It depends how you respond to questions from uninformed onlookers who ask, "Is that the new Hybrid car?"

I don't know if the average person can even tell it's the hybrid version of the LS just by looking at the headlights.
Some may not even know the "h" on the 600hL badge means hybrid. I think the only sign that can indicate to an uninformed person that the car is a hybrid is that little "hybrid" word under the rear door.

Here is the "X" factor, - if you buy the LED headlights, how much can you get for the take offs? I would think it would be considerable, as body parts suppliers would probably pay big money, especially if the take offs were done at new or in the first 60 days or so...
