I saw it's there when you click 'build your GS' but I have never seen one at my local dealers. RX with 3 lights are rare but I still found some of them.

It is there.. Even the 16 GS had it. Someone on the gs forum posted about it. Go check out the gs forum. You had to custom order on the 16s

The Triple LED lights are a stand alone option when you are trying to build a car using Lexus's website.

However, dealers will option the Triple LED lights when cars that have the ultra luxury package.

The triple led headlights give the IS a whole different front look. Don't the dealers realize if they would only order a couple 2017 IS with this luxury option with triple led headlights and order them ahead put them in car showrooms these cars are going to sell quickly.

Also if you look at the new pics there not just showing the triple led on the F Sport it's also on the non f sport model.

Is there a single projector now for the LED headlights? I know the HID cars had single projectors, the LED cars had double, but the single projector looks a little cleaner and LFA-ish, IMO. The car looks more aggressive now than the current model, a little too much going on. especially the scoops in the bumper. It might take some getting used to. Personally, I like the grille chrome because it matches the window trim has and red turn signal lights make it look cleaner.

Ok no joke the refresh looks wayyy better then the current one. I'd take it anyday. It's definitely the better car.

and btw, that's why we lost all the cool amber sequential turn lights on pretty much every german car who has it. (yeah.. I might just move to Canada..)
FYI, Canada is just as slow to adopt new regulations. And we usually get stuck with whatever you guys get because our market is too small. I'm not sure if there are actual regulations regarding turn signal size in Canada though. I know we don't get the sequential signals Lexus has been making, for example, on the 4th gen RX.

Too bad, those triple beam headlights look awesome.
