trekguy77 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 ...any kind of ambient interior lighting? I am considering moving from an '08 ES350, which has 4 led's in the roof to subtly illuminate the interior, plus the front footwells are dimly lit as well. Also, would you consider the LS to be... 1. somewhat quieter 2. substantially quieter 3. about the same ... than the Es? Thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much I'd say the '08LS is considerable quieter than the E's I've used as loaners during service. I agree the interior lighting is underwhelming, as is the trunk. What I've done is to stash one of those small 9-LED flashlights in the overhead glasses pocket. I have a thin piece of foam around it to keep it from rattling.

trekguy77 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 I am satisfied with the interior lighting in the ES. I assume from your reply that the LS has NO ambient interior lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 The LS has all the same ambient lighting as the ES plus illuminated door handle cups, etc. You'll be happy. In terms of quietness, its definitely quieter than the ES...but its not as huge a difference as it once was. This is my second ES, and I have a lot of experience with the LS because my Dad drove them for many years. I also very nearly bought an '06 or '07 LS instead of my '10 ES. The ES350 is considerably more LS-like than previous generations, and actually this car has me feeling like I really don't need an LS...which is not how I felt about my previous ES...
