I love the looks and the technology in the GS, but something has always made me wonder if the tail lights use LED's. On the GS, I don't see the conventional LED lights (dots of lights) found on other cars such as Infiniti's and Honda's. The way the tail lights "light up" on the GS looks like those on the previous generation LS and LX.

Can anyone confirm if the 3G GS uses LED tail lamps?

The G Man

Yup, they are LED. Lexus spend tons of money on lense design, they have some of the best looking headlights and taillights in my opinion. You cannot see the dots on a good LED setup, Its the cheap ones that you can see such as on Honda or Infinity.

Lexus is the leading manufacture for LED usage.. just look at our cars

there is LED everywhere, not just the tail lights...

The G Man

Although the new Audi have some pretty cool looking LEDs too.

they are kick *** leds. but im even thought they are not leds in the new BMW 5 series with the led bars

which I've mentioned before and will continue to think it's one of the ugliest design.

My personal fav is how the LS460's rear tail lights up at night, :drool:

SRGS300

you really dont like the design of the 5 series? i think they are rather nice. you can tell its a beamer from miles and miles away. i like the LS ones too but it needs something to stand out like the beamer.

The G Man

You can tell its a bimmer from miles away becuase of that ugly re-design, Just like you can tell its a Acura with that ugly re-design front grill, but at least the re-design 3 series looks better than the 5.

it looks like japanese fans or like wolverine claws. just makes me want to laugh everytime i see it.

must be a personal thing..

*just FYI, there is no such thing as Beamer

bimmer = bmw cars
beemer = bmw motorcycles

a lot of people don't know this so spread the words

now that we are in the led tails mood. the is250/350 tailight leds.... they are just incandecent bulbs right. just like the rx330?

*didnt know about the bimmer beemer thing but thanks for the heads up

The G Man

The IS is incandecent bulbs.

whlkev

i dunno about the rest of the RX

but our old RX400h had led rear.

The G Man

The RX switch over to LED taillights some years back. I just figure out what that BMW tail light looks like. It looks like an eye ball from a Japanese cartoon character.

SRGS300

thanks for the input. i figuered it was that.
