now we need ryan to confirm if some places are actually getting 600h/600hl without the led headlights? that would be something. every places i have read the 600h has the led headlights

and the same is shown on the lexus hk homepage, where the 600hl has only hid headlights? that's kinda of sad...

i stand corrected if that's the case

it's possible that they get the LS600, according to government source, any high rank officer must ride in a bullet proof automotive, which mean automotive they ride in is special made. So i assume this is a special car. maybe he ordered the Ls600 so early so he don't get the LED highlight........lol

I strongly agree that it may be a regulation by the transportation department on how bright that light can be.. Hence, no LED..

Let's keep a close eye on TV as they report the 10th year anniversary of HK returns to China... and see if the LS 600 hl shows up...

he's spending the taxpayer's $$$$$.....

his personal car is a Toyota Alphard minivan (not available in the US market)

Whats up guys, I went to a Lexus car show 2-3weeks ago over in TST, Hong Kong. And when I parked at the parking, I saw a LS600, a GS300, IS250. The LS600 didnt have LEDs headlight.

Very fascinating, I wonder how many LS 460/460 L/600h L owners know that the highest official in Hong Kong is driving the Lexus flagship.
