Default Triple beam option?

Maybe someone can help me out here. Some of the usual car search engines don't work when I put in the keyword " triple beams" and when I look on a dealers website it may not show the option. For instance, my local dealers site has a new GS that came in with triple beams but it doesn't state it on their website.It shows it has the Z2 package so would this package have the option? Not real impressed with car gurus ,cars.com... I'd just assume look at the actual dealer site to find what I'm looking for. Some sites don't have an actual photo of the car so, I'm trying to find out which car has it and which don't.

If your looking for a 2018 model, no more triple beams.

Where did you hear that?

The triple beams are listed as an option on the 2018 GS Product Information detail and are listed in the 2018 Build Your GS section of the web site.

Check the "build your GS" box on the lower right hand section of the home page. The option is $1160.

On cars.com, if you add the word "triple" to keywords in the search, it comes back with 16 GS350 vehicles in the US. New, 2017 or 2018. This may not pull up the vehicle at your local dealer though. The ones with LED lights are typically more expensive. So you could also try searching the higher priced models you are looking at.

Good luck.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Click the link and see if it takes you to the same results I see. Should be 16 vehicles.

Got it. Thanks! Looks like I might be getting a GS F Sport sooner than I realized. I really want Caviar/Red with Triple beams and RWD only. Hoping to find one in dealer stock and try not to special order one. Doesn't look like it's going to be an easy search. I guess I'll keep looking daily since dealers are starting to get 2018 inventory.

The triple beams are still seem to be really difficult to find on dealer lots for the 2018MY. I had a hard time locating one for my 2017, and ended up giving up. I hope they make it more available for when/if they redesign the GS...maybe make then standard like they are on the new LC and LS.
