Quick question for the lighting pros here, what is the functional difference between swiveling headlights, which sounds like a maintenance/repair nightmare to me, especially over the long term, and relatively simple cornering lights which even Hyundai has made very reliable?

Hyundai cornering lights are pointed straight while swiveling Lexus lights are pointed at where you are steering to is the functional difference.
Sounds like a repair nightmare to me too. When the motor dies you end up with a cross-eyed car lol

edit: also seems kind of pointless to me in a rural area, maybe its nice for the city or something where you can get surprised more often

Gen 1 lights actually have the swiveling lights which is cool and I typically see it on ramps entering the highway/freeway. There is also cornering light in the gen 1. Maybe less components, less issues.

I have them. They seem pretty great to me. Only a few folks have flashed me thinking my high beams were on.

That has been my problem with the triple-beams.

At least once or twice a night I get someone flashing their high beams at me thinking I have mine on.

I am generally ready to flash them back to let them know it's not my high beams, but I don't really want to get in a beaming contest with someone...

I'm in the process of buying the 350 non F-sport. My dealer in Montgomery AL today told me that Lexus is currently not putting triple beam lights on the 350, just the 350 F-sport. He also told me that Lexus is not taking any orders for special builds as of this time. Has anyone else experienced this. I have been waiting for some time to do this.

Also I might add to the above that I am buying the Luxury pkg plus many other packages and options.

its hard to say with the supply chain issues. I had one of the first and I can tell you I do have the Lux package, ML audio AND the triple beam lights. Which is apparently impossible to get at the moment

I have the adaptive (cornering) lights on my 2008 BMW and they have been faultless. Also I find them very useful when driving backroads or in the neighborhood at night. Having said all that I priced the replacements and they are over $1K each just for parts - so yes expensive.
