They are aftermarket headlights. LED DRLs have never been factory on the 3GS, as opposed to the IS, unfortunately.

Post Black '06 GS450h (Moldavia)

  1. GS 450h
  2. RWD
  3. Black
  4. 18 stock
  5. spoiler
  6. Beige
  7. It's got all available options (apart from rims) from what I've read on the forums here.
  8. Representing Moldova (Europe) 🇲🇩
It's my second car after a '06 Toyota Corolla hatchback. I was astonished to drive it for the first time. I bought the car from Italy. My older friends have a 4th gen GS 450h which I've test driven. I can certainly say there's a difference in quality build. With all the available options it still feels to my high tech, even though it's form 2006. Taking it on long roads feels amazing. I study in The Netherlands and often have to drive long distances from Moldova, it's amazing. For a 22 year old student who has only driven a corolla, this feels so next level. Not looking to change it anytime soon.

Another GS460 - new to me

1. GS460

2. RWD
3. Black
4. 18
5. Spoiler
6. Interior color Cashmere?
7. Almost completely standard but has quad oval tails..
8. No decent pics taken yet so I have cut 3 from the you tube sales video
9. West Sussex, UK





I'm not sure what to do with it yet but plan to keep it looking standard with perhaps some small subtle power gains if it's not too expensive to achieve.
My SC430 is quite heavily modified but the GS460 is very rare in the uk so in terms of appearance it needs to be given due respect. PPE or Sikky headers and paddle shift would be nice. .

Here's the link to the video the dealer made of the car to sell it.

Default Black 2008 GS460

Hi all

Lurker for a while before I bought my Lexus and haven't gotten around to putting this on here since

2008 GS460, Obsidian Black, ~190'000km
18" Wheels - Pilot sport 4 - Even a full sized spare
Mostly optioned out - Mark Levinson, Spoiler, Heated/cooled seats, rear sunshade, AFS, Radar cruise control
No pics of interior, but it's black with Red wood trim
NZ New, fairly rare here - most of them are all JDM imports - it's definitely a 1UR-FSE
1 Owner before me since new
Interior is mostly in great condition, outside needs some work (lots of stone chips on front)
It absolutely needs tints, first upgrade I'll be making after a clublexus sticker on the rear quarter window

Hey Guys,

I've been lurking on here learning a lot from everyone since I picked up my 06 GS430. I've already lowered it on Tanabe spring with the assistance of the sticky thread. Much appreciated!

I was lucky to buy it with a little over 100k on it. I am the second owner. The previous owner and had already done a muffler delete, as well as installed cryo-treated cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

Thanks in advance for all the questions I will inevitably have!

1. 430
2. RWD
3. Silver
4. 18s Factory (havn't seen many chrome?)
5. Spoiler
6. Gray

Default Another JDM - GS460 in New Zealand

Hi folks

Purchased my GS460 on Xmas Eve 2019 and been slowly upgrading various bits and pieces.

Day at the beach

Moody weather day

Moody weather - high above Auckland

My car parked with our economical Honda CR-Z


Built July 2008
GS460 - Mercury Metallic, Ivory leather interior
106000km at purchase - 118000km now (April 2021), 121000km (mid-July 2021), 131,000Km (Oct 2022), 133,000 (Nov 2022)
LED DRL, Fog lights, monsoon, full safety suite including driver drowsy monitoring
Radar Cruise, LKA, VDIM, DABC, Active Stabilisation system
12in Vertical screen installed (this comes with 3 x USB ports as well - handy for charging phones etc - in addition to those in the centre console running off)
Sunroof
Rear blind
HUD running from OBD II
Lexus body kit
Personalised number plates (replaced plates in photo)
Twin dashcams - front and rear
In these days of everyone being so PC regards Hybrids or EV's I have added three V8 badges (one on each front door and one on the boot/trunk) -
The only significant option I am missing (to my knowledge) is parking sensors - which for me is not significant - At my age, and after driving for over 47yrs - I am confident in my parking abilities.

New Vertical Screen

New rotors and pads all round
New Bridgestone S001 run-flat tyres


Day one - Just picked up from dealer



Spring in New Zealand

Hello - can you please help guide me? I need to buy a tow hitch for my car.
Can you help me find the right one - from a website in Europe or UK please?

(See links below - will either of these work?)

Thank you - totally know nothing about Tow hitch but need one to carry at least TWO bikes - not for pulling any serious weight at all.
