Default HID B-Level on 2015 vs 2016/2017

Cheers.
Anyone know if there is any major difference in the HID B-Levels on 2015 vs 2016/2017 RX's.
Looking at 450h's.
The iihs has tested the 2016 and low beams stretch out up to 450ft,
but they just started doing it so the 2015 is not tested.

Pretty sure they would have been one of the few suv's rated good,
if not for some mild glare for oncoming vehicles, as that's part of the rating.
Happy holidays.

There's two headlights, bi-led adaptive headlights and triple beams.
From what I've read, the adaptive headlights have better reach; however, the triple beams look way better.

This generation the fogs are also leds.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with either version of the headlights.

Post 2013-2015 Bi-Level RX450h vs 2017

Thanks for the info.
I am looking for anyone who has owned or driven both the last RX with Bi-level hid's vs the latest;.
I know they are both curve adaptive, I need to find out of the latest is the same or maybe better-
have pretty major night vision issue (scar from PRK Surgery in right eye) FYI.
much appreciated.

I’ve never driven them one after another but the new RX has amazing lights.
Move done many retrofits in the past to get better lighting and the new RX just amazes me.

Why hat don’t you try to go to the dealership at 5 and see if they’ll let you test drive or at least point at a wall next to your car.
