If you think the automatic headlights are cool wait until you notice that the triple beam headlights light up the area that you're turning to once you start turning your wheel/activate your turn signal

i love my triple beam headlights
I thought I wouldn’t like the 2022 led cause I like the 2019 that was a longer drl but in person I like it better IMO than the 2019-21
I like headlights drl but I just didn’t like the turn signal on the 2019-21

not the color I wanted ext/int and most don’t have the triple beam headlights which make the car.

The tripple beam are a must have option. They are incredible.

‘23s are showing up on dealer lots but they are FSport and premium packages. Something tells me it’s unlikely there are many Ult. Lux.s out now. Especially not on dealer lots. It will likely be some time before we start seeing the higher trims.

Do you care to share the dealership where you are seeing this inventory? My local dealer has 4-6 ‘23 F Sports and premiums currently. I finally saw one up close yesterday. It’s strange to not see a trackpad and have two distinct cup holders. Glad they moved the wireless charger out of the console but I didn’t get to see how much room was freed up.

It would perfect if they came with fog lights ...

just for the looks afar looks sick

But only on the suv..

what’s also cool is 99% es comes with HID

So we stand out..!!!


I don’t know how they do it but 3 little led bulbs make my night drive a breeze

easy to see the pot holes.

I like watching their movement against my garage wall after starting the vehicle.
They not only look aggressive but are very effective.

all the dealers have non hybrid
I went to a few and call dealers in nyc tri state

all non hybrid

So when I saw brand new 2022
es300h moonbeam ext cream black int
fully loaded every option UL (no led door and trunk sill) and even came with the smart key
i jump on that baby ASAP..

the dealers also gave me an additional 3- years warranty for $700 7years 70k cause the finance salesman was annoyed I keep saying no no no he was like hey I’ll give you it at $700 with $200 Deductible.
Hey what’s $700 and I have roadside assistance on top
this is a Lexus
since I have the factory warranty..
so after that everything is covered besides Brakes tires etc.
brakes tires etc.bit I know it’s gonna be a pain for them to paid up
tbh I just wanted to leave and he kept pushing since a had a long drive home


i went to Virginia from New York City Manhattan

i understand you buy a used car that has hid
but if I had to order it or find one with that option I would take it

to me honestly it makes the whole front end meaner

I don’t know if you know about Mercedes
but they have the drl e class upgrade with the double drl which makes it stand out compare to the non upgrade headlights which most don’t opt for that .??

headlight upgrade is a must.. it makes the car


on eBay the triple beam headlights are like $1500 same price as the dealer option .

that says a lot

You should thank your lucky stars you found an Ultra Lux. trim of any model! The fact one was available is incredible considering production had already stopped and their scarcity as of late. You lucked out for sure. The fact the dealer was willing to sell to an out-of-state resident is a plus too. Lately, many dealers wouldn't/wont'. Waiting for a '23 UL would have proven frustrating. Hopefully they didn't gouge you on price. Either way, as long as you are happy, that's what matters!

The lights dance is entertaining. What won't be entertaining is if one of them ever has to be replaced on our dime.

I wish we got the animated turn signals like they do in the EU.
