Was looking into getting a 2015 IS350 AWD and when I was searching this forum, I found a thread that said that in order to change the headlight bulb on this car, you have to replace the entire headlight!?
The OEM headlights are $1000 dollars a pop! I was going to buy this car because I like the reliability but that seems like I'm locking myself into a guaranteed $2000 bill FOR HEADLIGHTS.
Surely that can't be the case for all IS 350? The thread in particular sits here:

Is this for all IS350's or is it just the F-sport?

Not sure you may know how reliable led headlights are but LEDs especially on cars are going to last longer than you will ever own the car. They dont go out like regular filament bulbs do. Yes there will be peoples that die but your buying a lexus. If you really think people are replacing headlights every 5 years for 1k a pop Your wrong. Unless your are destroying these headlights with a baseball bat they arent going to break and if it does you can easily just open it up and replace the led housing if you are a diyer.

The one you are referring to is the Dual projector LED...where the LED's are not replaceable.
However, if they do go out it likely isn't the LED itself, but rather the module that controls it. It may be possible to just replace the module instead of the entire headlight.
The odd headlight has gone out here and there, but without knowing the history of every vehicle, it's hard to say if it was the vehicles fault or something else...i.e. was the vehicle in an accident? is the headlight housing cracked letting water in? etc.
What headlight the car comes with really depends on trim package and region...basically just look at the headlight and see if it has one or two projectors...that's the easiest way to know which one it is.
