Default 13 - 15 Triple Diamond headlight available now.

Just to share. The 13-15 GS now has a LED Triple Beam Diamond Headlight option for sale now. Here are the eBay ones and I have seen them on some of the other international sites like Ali Express and other for a bit less cost. Just letting the 4th Gen forum know.

The eBay price is a ripoff. It's Under $1000 with shipping on AliExpress and that's for both headlights:

That eBay seller is just buying it on AliExpress and having shipped to whoever buys it from his eBay listing, make 100% profit! His entire store is just marked up AliExpress items, all shipping from China.

Someone should buy this on Ali Express, install it, and give us a review. Looks like a good option. I have the genuine Lexus LED headlights that are adaptive, these are fixed. I paid $1800 for my used oem led headlights plus $100 for the Adaptive LED ECU. It was plug and play for my 450h. The AliExpress/eBay ones are not adaptive.

The Bros with the eBay GSF bumper should buy this!

I drive at night a lot and light output is very important to me. I am curious to see how the light throw, beam pattern, and cutoff are with these.

I wonder if installing this would result in lights on your dash board since the afs ecu would be missing connection to the oem headlights. Most GS have auto level headlights.

Me and 2 other GS owners friends messaged a seller on another site and had them down to like $850 each for 3. I was going to buy a set just to sell under on Ebay.

Yes my Friend that had the ebay GSF bumper was all over them. If they were Adaptive I would get them maybe. I think they would look better than the 16+ Diamonds because I think the 16+ Diamonds headlight body is too small imo. These look better to me. I noticed another ebay seller sold out, so someone has them I guess.

No, fixed position, simple electronics, that's part of the reason it's less than $1k. They probably makes these in China for a couple hundred dollars.
