The blue light all about "efficiency" if it's fading in and out. The last time I test drove an LS with the blue lights they faded in and out depending on how efficient your driving was. When you accelerate the blue light gets dim and turns off while when you're coasting or generally not "accelerating" and getting an efficient MPG it fades to a strong blue. Perfectly normal operation as far as I'm aware.
Here is a clip from the 2014 LS460 Owner's Manual

Thanks, Jim, for saving me the task of looking thru the owner's manual
.
I drive my car in comfort mode, but didn't realize the light turned off while the vehicle was stopped. It's great to know my car is operating as designed!

Very glad this issue wasn't anything to worry about. I mean, who needs a dealership when you have CL!

CRowe, you keep it honest. Too many folks like you, and they will have to shut down this forum!

Interesting. I actually noticed that yesterday! I thought it was normal too, along the line of "efficiency theory"
I did have trouble starting the car last week after leaving it at a detailer's place for 1 week. It was jumped and i was actually surprised at the complexity of "resetting" the car computer loading phase. Anyway, that worked, and i didn't have any further issue. Left on trip on 21st and was worried. Car started fine yesterday (26th) I will have lexus dealership check the battery out this coming friday. Btw comotiger, mine is 2014 SWB obsidian AWD. Hope the similarities does not include similar problems!

So, I was able to confirm that the operation of the blue light depends upon the Eco-friendliness of my driving, as detailed in the manual. I never paid attention to this little "gauge" in the display showing whether my driving was within the eco-friendly range. Within this range, the blue light is on. Exceed this range, and the light goes away. Incidentally, the eco-gauge is turned off when the vehicle is in the "Sport" mode, for obvious reasons

Driving in Eco-friendly range

Driving outside Eco-friendly range: higher RPM (shame on me!!)

The dark side beckons! Sport+ Mode (Eco OFF)

It's almost as if the car in the red mode is saying to the driver: "Stop driving so aggressively! It's bad for your gas mileage!" LOL
