So will the 2011 headlights fit previous models? I like the LEDs. I hate my ugly current DRLs but can't change to LED DRLs because I have to get a yearly inspection and I'm not going to change them out every year.

I'm really really like those new 18s though.

My 2010 is teh sexx.
I was in the same predicament, and decided on getting the '10 instead of this '11. I tried looking at the pics everyday to get myself used to the bummer. Nope. The '10 bumper still looks better than this.

I totally agree about the LEDs and would switch my 2009's headlights for the 2011's in a second. I'm waiting to see if they'll fit. The DRL's are the only thing I dislike about my car... so generic with no identity.

If anybody knows if the new lights will fit on previous models let us know.

Didn't I read that 2011s don't have AFS?

I kinda hate the LED DRLs anyway but I'd hate em more if I was giving up AFS to get em.

Yes. The entire IS line will be loosing AFS in 2011.

Let's hope Lexus wll bring it back for the 3rd gen... Because as of now, every Lexus EXCEPT THE IS LINE will be getting afs

Well if they won't let me extend my lease next year I will probably be leaving Lexus for a while. I already don't like the bumper and the Audi wannabe LED's and now knowing they are removing the AFS to make way for those @*#@*** things..

ummm, just tell the inspection guy that your brights are built into your low beams. The low beams have a reflector that moves when you activate the brights. Unless you dont have oem hid's? Even still, you cant find someone to not pass you because of your brights not working? And even if you couldnt, changing them back to stock once a year for inspection really isnt that big of a deal

That's not new in Japan, it's been a while, like 2-3 years now.
