LED Headlights Gone in Canada?
Just noticed that the 2015 IS sold in Canada does not offer LED headlamps anymore. I wonder why?
Not specifically for Lexus, but I have heard one concern that LED headlights do not generate enough heat to melt ice and snow. That has not stopped Toyota from putting them in the new Corolla...

LED headlights are available for the Executive non F-Sport package in Canada.
I don't think insufficient heat would be a design consideration. Even HIDs don't reallly generate enough heat to melt snow. However, while the LED lights are brighter, I noticed they didn't have very good range or a nice cutoff. I prefer the HID.

LED runs cooler than HID and hence it is more energy efficient. To melt ice and snow, headlamp washers do the task.

And for HID in IS, it looks yellow on the road compared to the LED DRL running strips. It is almost a must to change to aftermarket ones.

Not sure about cutoff difference between LED and HID in the 3IS. But I find the illumination is more uniform on the road for the LED headlight in IS, vs the HID.
