With all the brouhaha being made about the LS600hL's LED headlights - and let's admit it, they have captivated us up till now - something is amiss. The LS460's own headlights are endowed with those wonderful Baccarat-like lead crystal surrounds, and now that the LED's shine has worn off a bit, I think the 460's headlights are bolder, more dramatic, and make a powerful statement for this car - distinctive qualities that, at this level anyway, their peers are wont to emulate. There will be lots of imitators in the coming years on the LED front, but I doubt if any have until now, spent as much time creating something as beautiful as those chandelier quality peepers. Anybody agree?

 

I'll put it this way, the LS 600h L headlights are a technological wonder, a first-in-the-world deal. Their clear LED beams are nice, use less energy, etc.

I love the design of the LS 460/460L/600hL headlamp housing, the appearance reminds me of a 'display case' -- and the integrated headlamp washers are sophisticated, like finely made jewelry or a watch.

But yes, the LS 460/460 L headlamps are very beautiful as well and do have that reflective crystal design inside, inspired by Baccarat tumblers. As the 'original' headlamp design, they stand out brilliantly as well.

 

Oh yeah!!

 

i like the 460 headlights, but i have to say i love the 600hl headlights more. not just the fact it is led (it's just another way of lighting), but it's the 3 projectors plus the bottom reflector, the way it lights up the road, the way it lines up as a line across. it just looks meaner imho

 

That's why he's excited enough to start a thread telling everyone that LS600h in Hong Kong does not have the LED's, which may imply it's possible to swap LS460 headlights for the LED's of the 600hL .

I like the headlights of both the 460 & 600, but I do prefer the look of the LED's more.

 

This gives me a woody

 

LOL. you gotta sort out your priorities

side question, was the LF-SH ever shown on the lexus website before the LS460 was present? cause they are the same car.

Yes sir it was and is still on there.

 

I agree, they're beautiful

 

lol, day-dreaming is definitely exciting

 

can you put the led on the LS460?

 

no one knows at all, that's why the talk

 

they must look amazing at night... so many single HID projector headlight car out there, it's hard to tell what's, what's at night

 

Probably at night that's when you can really tell them apart well.

 

What does the output look like against a wall?
