LX Lights

Hi Everyone..

Quick question. Does the LX 570 come with HID headlights? I do not see this listed in the brochure.

TIA

Halogen lamps in the US model and Halogen (projector) on the low beams and Bi-Xenon on the high beams for the Middle-east model.

Uh, I guess I'm wrong then, Its Xenon on high beams only for the Middle-East edition.

Thanks for correcting.

cheap_deal, I wouldn't know but I believe Xenon on high beams is pretty useful on off-roads, and its an off-road SUV from the beginning.. anyways, I guess we agree on if it was HID it would've been awesome.

FYI, Landcruiser too (ME edition) has LX settings from '98 on the luxury package (aka VX-R).

We took it back to the dealer our new LX 570 the following day after picking it up the day before which is still daytime so , we have no idea about the lights we just found out that night joyriding around the neighborhood and noticed the lights are dim , initially they want to install an aftermarket replacement for $1200 but , we told them that the salesman says it comes with HID ( I guess they really want to get rid of it ,it's a leftover 2008 model ) after so much discussion and arguments the dealer decided to install an aftermarket replacement for just the cost of parts which is $350 and a giveaway free pinstripes !

And the salesman at a TOYOTA dealer looked at me wierd once when I said that if I am going to buy this vehicle, I want a second test drive in the evening to test out the lights and interior gauges....
