Default RCF Headlamps, What Is Your Favorite?

Hello, the RCF Grandpa again. 2020 headlamps are a clean nice complete package with all lamps in one assembly. The 2020 RCF will be the 6th production year of the Lexus Radical Coupe. I chose Molten Pearl RCF’s for this post. What design do you like best and why?

2015 - 2019 RCF Standard Headlamps

2015 - 2019 RCF Optional Headlamps

Love the separate drl, and the triple beam LEDs that make everyone think my high beams are on...they may be set too high actually

I agree with 05RollaXRS. The 2015-19 optional triple beam premium headlights are way of ahead of their time and with time will still look like a masterpiece.

Even though the 2020 look futuristic I don't see them aging well. They will end up looking gimmicky.

Default 2015-19 Triple Beam Is My Choice

I purposely ordered a 2017 NX300h for my wife in the summer of 2017 because I saw that the triple beam lamps were not available on the 2018 NX. She wanted the triple beams on her new car. Matches my RCF’s Headlamps.

I feel like the 2020 headlamps lost some aggression and character.

Overall, I like the new front end better. I want to see it in person.

I do like the older triple beam, it still looks modern.

I have the triple beams and they look great at night, during the day it looks a little busy. The new ones are more integrated but they still look a little "off". The taillights look FANTASTIC and is a topic for another thread.

Triple Beam, so ahead of their time. Out of the box design and engineering..
does everyone know that the triple beam headlights have LED cooling fans built in? Not gonna find that on your avg German sports car.

The triple beams are awesome. The HID style are outdated now. The 2020, while looking futuristic, look cheesy to me. Someone above wrote gimmicky, and I agree. Maybe they will look better at night or in person, but for now, I love the 2015-2019 triple beams by a mile.

Sorry Lexus but I feel the 2020 headlights are a downgrade from my 2016 triple beam headlights. One reason I'm keeping my 2016 and not upgrading to the newer model. These headlights look so damn good and aggressive, it's like looking at a mean Transformer or Gundam robot (yeah I like anime) But aside from the design itself, I think the newer lights don't look as refined and kind of look cheap or something
