Lexus shouldn't be making a big deal out of LED's that BMW has had in their turn signals for about 10 years. Audi & infintii still lead the way with lighting IMO.

I made every light in my 2002 ES a vLED's LED bulb. They fade perfectly normal, if not nicer than the others.
Will be interesting to see if the LED light output is as good as the bi xenon's too.
i am not really talking about that, thats standard illumination in many cars above 20k these days... and Lexus had LED headlights years before BMW, as well as interior lighting.

Hate to bust your bubble but the LS F Sport is sitting in it's standard ride height, 10cm lower than a regular LS.

Ooops yes 1cm = 10mm. That's what happens when we don't use the metric system everyday. LOL

Is just age, everyone get there eventually, some are faster then other. When I was in my teens, I thought I would want a LS when I am 50, I actually wanted it and bought a LS when I turned 30

I believe it when I see a for sale unit at the dealer, showcars on show stand from the manufacturer is as believable as hollywood movie actresses, anything could be altered for a better look.

"Specifications are subject to change without notice"

I am still traumatized by this lie

Oh really? Says who?

The regular center entry lights are still regular. The maplights remain LED. There is one big change though, the courtesy lamp on the door panel is now LED.
