Default Lexus IS 2019: Triple team headlights / LED Turn signals?

I noticed that the Lexus US page for the IS now has 2019 and the first thing I noticed is that the picture shown on the car now has the triple LED headlamps!

https://www.lexus.com/models/IS

Also looking at the press release, it also verifies that as an option.

http://pressroom.lexus.com/releases/...+press+kit.htm

The main question is, does the car now have LED turn signals for both front and back of the vehicle now if this option is selected?

Somebody already posted this the other day.

I doubt Lexus would make a revision of the tail light just for this MY. The LED headlamp already existed in the parts bin from europe/asia. only way to know for sure is when the car is actually released.

Yeah! 1K option for lights that do not work as well as stock.

Oh yes, I am fully aware of JP/Europe/Asia having this. It is new for US, but it looks like for Canada, they are not getting it.

According to Lexus US Customer service when I sent an inquiry, they said the rear does not have it. I hope that is not the case but I am with you on this one, that we need to look at the actual vehicle when it arrives.

i’m going to retrofit them, they look way too good and i would totally waste my money on it. i’m just pissed they haven’t offered it since 2017 in the US

I am also taking in account that the US 2018 Toyota Camry XSE/XLE has LED headlamps/turn signals for both front and back.

Even thou its not a luxury car but Toyota took action and put it in, therefore I would expect Lexus to do so on the IS in this market.
