I purchased a 2007 ES today used(I pick it up Monday)....Just wondering if it has Xenons? I'm not sure of the package it has but it had bluetooth on the wheel and wood trim all around...I can't seem to find the answer online....Thanks in advance and great forum you guys have here.

Guy, no question is stupid. The HIDs come with the Ultra Luxury Package or are available separately as a stand alone option. If you have HIDs you also have the Adaptive Front Lighting System. The normal headlights are Projector Halogens. Oh, Congratulations

The easiest way to tell is that the HID light beam shows no hint of yellow from any angle. Otherwise, just steer the car and see if the beams turn with the steering wheel.

Also, units that came without the Nav system usually don't have the HIDs either.

HID come with usually come with Level III only. If you have a Nav...then more likely you have HID.

And what is this supposed to mean?

I ordered them on mine as an add on. Love em!

Anybody know how long they last? Not looking forward to THAT day!

Whne we were shopping for our car in 4/06, we saw some non-nav cars with HID, rear sunshade, seat extender as well as other options. At that time it was called Premium Plus-Plus Additional options (I think). May have been a regional thing, not sure.

It means the option packages in the US are different than those in Canada. Level I or II or III will have no meaning for folks in the US, like people in New York. If you look at the site referenced above, you'll see it's a Canadian site, and the second reference talks about Level III. Now do you understand my post

We had them on our 2001 ES300 and never had a problem, car had about 36k miles when we traded for the 2008 which also has Hids (Premium Plus package).

Premium Plus Package does not include HIDs. As I indicated above, the Ultra Luxury Package does.

I believe HIDs tend to last longer than halogens, but at around the time I got my '08 I had seen an identical model with one bulb burned out. Being such a new car, it might have been a bad bulb or bad weather sealing.

If you noticed I sent the USA site information.

Lou, you are correct. The Premium Plus Package does not include HID's. I believe that in 2008 Lexus built a lot of cars with the Premium Plus Package with "Additional options".

The "Additional options" were:
- Rear Seat Airbags
- Bluetooth Audio
- Full Size Spare
- HID's
- Power Rear Sunshade
- Wood and Leather Steering Wheel
- Preferred Accessory Package

Most of the Premium Plus package cars on my local dealers lot included all of these Additional options.
