Do any new Lexus models come with LED lights replacing bulbs in both interior and exterior fitments, other than headlights?

I wonder why car manufacturers seem so slow to move to this improved technology. Is it because of the initial cost of the bulbs?

Initial costs and I believe supply issues. They also have long standing partnerships with existing companies that have not gotten into LED lights yet.

Car manufacturers are slowly getting into the LED scene, take a look at Audi/Mercedes/VW/BMW and their new LED daytime running lights.

Lexus has been doing LED license plate and interior lights (for some models) for a while now so it's about time that other manufacturers are catching up to this.

LED's are the new lighting technology of the future, just give it a few more years and it'll slowly become standard; not only with automotive, but with industrial/commercial applications.

all new Lexus models have LED for the map reading lights, but they do not use them from the dome lights because LEDs do not fade on and off like the regular bulbs do. I also tend to like a yellow-er light and think its more soothly and pleasing to the eye

...that is a great point!!!! .....and probably something that most of us overlook...thanks...and I do agree that that the yellower light is easy on the eyes...

For the dome lights I tend to agree. I prefer these lights to be more subdued instead of the clinical brightness of leds.

I'm the complete opposite, I actually prefer LEDs in the dome and every where else.

Yellow relaxing light preferred here.
