Thanks for stopping by! What do you think of the IS lights? Or better yet, what do you think of the 2021 IS as a whole? I'll have 2 more videos on this car coming soon!
I just want to give you a big THANK YOU for doing the night review. I believe you are the only one doing the night review on CZcams. Thank you!! Because the “lighting” is my biggest concern too when I purchase the vehicles. Now I can see what a different between all the cars at night. However since you are doing the night’s review then I would really suggest you to get a better quality camera for the night/dark. Otherwise you are so great for what you doing. Once again, THANK YOU. Great videos and you earned my sub. Please keep up all the good works.
I was thinking of getting the LED matrix because I thought they were better but thanks to your video I will be saving some money and going for the regular.
I like everything about it except the taillights. That strip of light going across the trunk is not a go for me. This night vision clip was very relaxing. Interior is on point, exterior is okay, color is great. Nolan you rock.
Thank you so much for the excellent review. Yeah those headlights are a deal breaker. It's also surprising to see that the upgraded premium LED lights perform so terribly
I just adjusted mine - open the hood, take the plastic clamps off and remove the plastic “bra” above the headlights, use a long head Phillips to adjust the “knobs” behind the headlights and you can raise the level. They work GREAT….after you adjust the height haha
I just notice if u want to go faster u can adjust the RPM in the gauge and u can get rid of eco mode when cruising I notice a difference it gets up much quicker
For $56k! This car lacks 1. heads up display. 2. Wireless apple carplay & Auto 3. Poor backup camera quality 4. Transmission responsiveness 5. An infotainment screen That's more responsive. (A bit slow compared to Mercedes benz)
Try buying a mb with the same opinion and horsepower and see how much it cost 😅 it’s won’t be in the 56k there no way in hell I’ll pay $56k for a 4cyl turbo don’t care if it faster
You're right. This gen lacks a few, let's say, gadgets and gizmos, which should be considered as standard on any car with msrp of $50k and beyond. Those would make the IS350 more premium, and up to the game with it's german and korean rivals. I would never believe me to say this, but right now KIA is more appealing than Lexus.
@PrimeAutotainment how are your triple beam headlight bulbs holding up? I have a 2023 lexus rc350 f sport with a little different headlights then yours, they're called triple beam as well it was an option from the manufacturer. Mine are not working lol
Same sentiment here. I am really disappointed, the nailed the looks but that's about it. Transmission alone will dip the experience. I believe if the shifts were quick and acceptable to modern standards, with an updated interior, the power starved engine would be a trade off. I am still hoping they will rectify with a refreshed model soon. How certain projects make it past the drawing board muchless the engineering committee baffles me. Lol. Just thinking if it is hilarious and scary at the same time. A simple drive should scream: "Our customers will demand alot more for their monies".
Hi, have you tried to adjust the headlights? I have a 2018 IS 300h F Sport with the same triple beam LED lights and I experience exactly the same. Just bought the car recently and I’m thinking to get the lights adjusted.
Sunshade???? I ask at the dealer n they saying they don’t know wut I’m talking about? Bc is not sunshade on this car 🤔so how ur come with it ? May b is a especial order?
Great review, thanks. Just wanted to ask, when you turn the lights on, are they self levelling? I also have triple beam leds they are not doing this self levelling adjustment what I got used to with other cars.
Now just add a dual clutch transmission, dynamic suspension and twin turbo charging to 480 thereabout and watch the msrp Ballon by $25k. I tell you each manufacturer really tries to approach the market like a trainer approaching a tiger.

Headlights look decent. A full electric IS would be pretty cool!
When are you doing Acura MDX review?
I’m not sure yet. It’s not on the schedule but I just got the TLX so hopefully that can be the next Acura!
I think you're the only one that has ever reviewed this car at night to show off all the lights. Awesome review!
It was cool but that light on the back ugly af
Glad to hear it and thank you very much!
MikesCarReviews did this about a month ago
@@PS3Gameplays123 good to know 👍. He’s always done a lot of good night videos. He’s one of the reasons I started doing them too!
I love that you do night reviews! Headlight performance is so important and most automotive journalists skip over this. Keep up the excellent content!
Glad you like them!
They should have made the rear turn signal LED too. That would have been a great addition to the rear tail.
Right

They should add ambient like Merc and BMW plus option to cha e all cream interior
At this point it is criminal
Great review btw
I was thinking of getting the LED matrix because I thought they were better but thanks to your video I will be saving some money and going for the regular.
I don't usually like Lexus cars but I like this one I mostly like BMW cars only BMW but this Lexus is amazing
Lexus is so much better though. I mean bmw great for performance, i have an M3. But Lexus if you want a car you never have to fiddle with
I want one so badddd !!!!
I wouldn’t upgrade the headlights the low beams were very disappointing
Great video as always Nolan
Thanks for watching! I was definitely disappointed with those low beams too, especially considering the extra price!
Thanks for showing how the automatic Hi-beam function works. That was interesting to see it in action.
i got this car but in metallic grey with black interior and it is sharp....it is a beautiful caar.....
I like everything about it except the taillights. That strip of light going across the trunk is not a go for me. This night vision clip was very relaxing. Interior is on point, exterior is okay, color is great. Nolan you rock.
Thank you Key, I'm glad to hear it!
you trippin bro.. have you seen in person at night? It’s the best looking tail lights iv seen.
@@omarelsayed7997 seriously rigjt
I love that matador red

Connecting light looks like X-men Cyclop kinda cool
Luxury , Elegant & Sports car VERY NICE
I wish someone could just gift me this car!
Connecting tail lights same as connecting eyebrows
Some might find it irresistible.. just not my cup of tea
fantastic review - thank you very much!
I just notice if u want to go faster u can adjust the RPM in the gauge and u can get rid of eco mode when cruising I notice a difference it gets up much quicker
How come the IS300 & 350 series do not come with fog lights?
LED lights don’t need fog lights. Mercedes don’t do them either.
What a cool idea for a video
For $56k! This car lacks
1. heads up display.
2. Wireless apple carplay & Auto
3. Poor backup camera quality
4. Transmission responsiveness
5. An infotainment screen That's more responsive. (A bit slow compared to Mercedes benz)

@@tuantrd Yeah, I feel you on that one lol. I mean Lexus could have simply added these features as Options while spec'n the car out

@@TheGarciaCo Right!! Same thing Doug demuro said.
And LED rear amber turn signals
@PrimeAutotainment how are your triple beam headlight bulbs holding up? I have a 2023 lexus rc350 f sport with a little different headlights then yours, they're called triple beam as well it was an option from the manufacturer. Mine are not working lol
Changes are nice, but they don't go far enough. Not going splash 50k on a 8yr old platform.

It is an option. It’s not included on every car
Beautiful car. Too bad we don't have it here in Europe. 😞
Great review, thanks.
Just wanted to ask, when you turn the lights on, are they self levelling? I also have triple beam leds they are not doing this self levelling adjustment what I got used to with other cars.
Incandescent turn signals on a 2021 Lexus sports sedan. Nope!
I'm surprised the Turn signals aren't led for this price of car
Beatiful
Thank you. 👍
Car is bedazzled!
Hi, may I know how u turn on that small yellow light at the front headlamp?
I don’t know , I feel like Lexus should / could have done better if I’m honest .
2021 and Lexus IS has no interior ambient lighting whatsoever! pretty damn sad and if they're 2021 IS500 doesn't have one then thats TRULY PATHETIC
Hopefully the 2022 is350 gets ambient lightning 🤞
@@Astronautbrownboi nope :(
Cool
Leo, you're always first. I really appreciate it!!
@@PrimeAutotainment I will not be undersold. Lol. It is a character flaw. Actually, I don’t have to be first but is fun.
I always look forward to your comment!
Are the backlit buttons white?
How do you raise the headlights
Wow.
Thank you. 💯🚙
Elellent
Thank you.💓
Thanks for watching!
Sexy Sport Sedan for sure
Omg hav a Vanity light 💡 lol?
Looks expensive AF
Now just add a dual clutch transmission, dynamic suspension and twin turbo charging to 480 thereabout and watch the msrp Ballon by $25k. I tell you each manufacturer really tries to approach the market like a trainer approaching a tiger.
Taillight doesnt rly work i believe
Don't they have the height adjustment control button inside the cockpit? I agree they are quite low
I wish it at ambient lighting that’s why German cars are bette r
Until your car spends more time getting fixed than driving the streets.
pffff, can nobody show if this car has or has not puddle lights under the side mirrors!!!!????
