Ok bear with me guys, I'm a newbie with this car and just starting to explore some of the lighting options on this car.

1) Once car is fired up, the DRL's come on automatically (no way to turn it off) and when you turn your headlights on (2nd click on stalk) the DRL's turn off.

2) First click on stalk: Rear parking lights and interior illumination lights come on, DRL's remain on but no parking lights up front?

3) There are dual amber bulbs on the lower part of the headlight that come on for blinkers or hazards only.

4) Amber reflectors up front do not light up.

5) There is a small #194 wedge bulb lights up when headlights come on.

6) Fogs are only enabled when headlights are powered up.

But what I see missing is no parking lights up front for the IS-F....very strange?

Parking lights do work on the first click...Amber part on the side of the headlights do light up!!

DRLs can be turned off by Lexus. Mine are. Two lamps light in the front with the DRLs off - one behind the amber and the small bulb above the high beam.

thanks guys, I have to go home and look closer, must have missed those bulbs! Front parking lights always come on with the first click? Or only when the DRL's are turned off?

I plan to swap in LED 9005 bulbs so the DRL's will be 6000k white (yes I know I will lose my highbeams). Saw another CL member do this and looks pretty cool.

Number 5 is your parking / city lights.. They come on with 1st and/or 2nd click on the stalk.

Same goes for number 4, they have an led in the lower corners.
