Thanks for the update!

 

2013 RX manuals are updated on Lexusdrivers.com

 

Can't wait!

 

And this is where the information begins to contradict....

Here, this release says that LED headlamps are part of the luxury package: http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...specs.download

Here, on the website now, it says they are separate: http://www.lexus.com/models/RXh/features/pricing.html

I ordered the luxury package because it said the LEDs were part of it, now they're not. Rather frustrating....

 

Yes, a bit frustrating. You should just verify if the LEDs were ordered or not by your dealer. I know with the 2012 the LEDs were also supposedly a separate item, but the dealer was forced into ordering them with the Luxury package for me due to some manufacturing and/or NA prerequisite. Bet it ends up being the same thing now. Also, those specs were useful to give us a feel of what was to come, but remember, they were a "generic" "global" version, not what ends up being available in specific marketplaces like NA. ...and things like the "Blind Spot Monitor" were not even identified in that spec sheet, nor was the Wide View Monitor it apparently replaced from the 2012s. As I've said before, it's just too bad Lexus Marketing has not done a better job with specifics as they've attempted to roll out the 2013s -- especially for those of us caught in this no-man's land between model years. Hang in there. I am certainly still trying!

 

Do you mean LED DRLs are not standard?

 

No he is talking about LED low beam headlights. The DRLs are standard

 

Are LED low Beams dfifferent than HID low beams?

 

Yes. "Light-emitting diode (LED) headlamps illuminate faster, last longer and use less energy than conventional halogen or High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps."

 

The first pic is the 2013 with LED low beams (two bulbs)
The second is the 2013 with HIDs

 

Ahh....perfect. I really like the LEDs then.
