Those headlights are fine, but the rear end is hideous.
They better redesign the tail for production if they make this car . . .

Thanx for the pics

Hmm...I like the LED part, agree on tail light lens shape.
Compare to M5 tail light, with parking lights on, barely can see light emitting from regular bulbs

M5 head light, nice halo rings

Lexus has redesigned the front and tail. We see it as the current IS 250/350. The LF-C is the concept car or if you will the template that is used for the IS. Since the LF-C is a coupe we could see an IS coupe in the future. At least we all hope so.

i've noticed that on the higher end cars (more $$$) the LED's are smaller and more packed in together...

More LEDs = more lumins
This is my hyperwhite 9LED along with Sylvania SilverStar. I found 6LED is not as bright as stock 168/194 bulb.

is not about the brightness itself but direction, regular bulbs spread their brightness all around them, meanwhile LED's goes all in one direction... all you'd need is the right reflector

Or multiple angles. This is a closeup. Notice the "fly's eye" cluster LEDs similiar to the 7 lens HID lens that aims at slightly different angles.
