Smile LED headlights
They really are different and so bright, make the car so unique.













Interesting illumination, very identifiable as a Lexus.

How do they compare to the HID you've driven on other cars (in terms of how well the driver can see the roads)? Is high beam significantly brighter and longer-range than low? How well does the auto low/high beam work? I've heard LED headlights are better than HID on wet roads. True?

From my research online, these tiny dots are LED-based turn signal lights.

I love my 600 LED headlights..folks that said the 2008-2012 600hL LEDs are not as bright as the same year range HIDs on the 460s..i big to differ. nice wide and even light...I am sure these new versions have been even more perfected and really light up the road
