Default Lexus IS350 2018 f-sport Canada, led or hid?

Hi!

After a lot of research, I don't find any clear answer to my question. Do I have led or hid headlight for my is350? The US one seem to have HID in the base model and LED in the f-sport model. But I don't know for here. Because the f-sport here don't have the dual projectors like US. And I read somewhere, some one projector housing can have LED

thx

The instant you turn on your lights, does the bulb get brighter or is it instant brightness? This should tell you what you have. (Instant = LED, and if it takes a couple seconds to get full bright, its HID)

Up till 2018, the front head lights were HID lights with LED for the daytime running lights. Fom 2019 onwards, they F-Sport package 3 included LED headlights. They look a little different where they are L-shaped rather than the round HID lights in the 2018 and before. That is how you can tell the difference.
