Did you order your F-Sport or buy from dealer stock? It's much easier to find a ML car than it is to find a Triple Beam/ML combined. Hope when I'm ready I can find the combo I'm looking for because I won't special order one. TB's are the only way to go!

It's a long story. I posted it somewhere on this forum. Essentially my dealer ordered a car for me, without telling me, with my exact options, colors, etc. They didn't take a deposit, or lock me down. However, I sure wish they would have mentioned that to me when I got locked into the ES 2 months after my initial request. Needless to say I lost an ***-load of money, but I now have the car that I actually wanted.

So yeah, it was a special order, took 5 months to arrive.

Thanks for the response! I pretty much have my heart set on a caviar/red combo RWD with triple beam/ML which will be tough to find I'm sure when I'm ready. I'll pretty much travel anywhere in the country if the deal is right. I'm assuming I might just have to settle for ML and accept the standard headlights. Unfortunately I have at least a year to wait to get my $$ in order. I should have never spent time at the dealer where I bought my RX to lust over the caviar/red GS-F they had on the showroom floor which is out of my league $$ wise but I would be just as happy with an F-Sport.

Good news is they're (Lexus) sending a lot more vehicles with the triple lights now. Last year it was special order ONLY. So, you may have more luck later in the year.

Question regarding Triple-BEAM LED. Will the ones coming off a 2016-2017 GSF fit on a GS350 F-sport?

It will fit, but the light will not work since the wiring is different (Triple beam LEDs are Adaptive, but F-Sports are not).

Are these headlamps standard of GS-F but not GS350? I never noticed there were different headlights and just saw a GS-F on sale which has these headlamps.

Triple beam headlights are standard on the GSF. Still slightly difficult to find a GS350 with these headlights.

Maybe the GS-F triple beam lights are adaptive, but mine are not. They don't move when you turn.

I mean I am looking at these and the seller says the LED computer is not included: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252759355599....N36.S1.R1.TR1

For future reference, I just want to know what other components you need to make them functional on a GS350 . Possible future project on my list

I mean, if you think about it, a GS with HID lights is going to have different connections. Also, not completely remembering, but aren't the high beams still halogen bulbs? There would need to be something in the car to tell it to activate the LED high beams (all 3), instead of sending power to a wire that is no longer being used.

Jesus, that guy wants a LOT of money for used parts. Also, do Russians drive on the right side of the road like USA? If not, the cutoff will be messed up and you'll blind oncoming traffic.

Front bumper is sweeetttt, but it's not as simple swap as it looks like, someone here did it and a lot of modification was required, but if I was gonna keep the car for long I would have done it for sure.
