Default GS450h spotted ?

This is very strange, the headlights look like they are from a hybrid model. However, the Lexus badge does not have this "blue" outline. So, I'm not 100% sure if this is the real thing....

Regular GS350 will have an option for bi-LED headlights as well.

led headlights are still more of a gadget than real functionality though, that's my only thing about them

i don't know, it is angrier, but the housing shape itself could have been better i think

So, these lights are optional on base / f-sport models. But will come standard on all hybrid GS models ?

wow, they keep simplifying the led system, so now it only needs one projector plus one reflector to complete the lowbeam output per headlamp

aside of prius/rx450h/ct200h/hs250h etc: two projector/1reflector
and of course ls600hl: 3 projector/1 reflector

response.jp had pics of hybrid as well... you can recognize its interior due to the shifter being different (GS350 has leather boot, GS450h does not).
