An image of what’s claiming to be the 2010 Lexus LS 600hL facelift has popped up (click for a larger image):
The most obvious change is the front grille, and the front bumper intakes have also been reworked and would resemble both the GS & IS designs. The turn signals are also integrated into the rear view mirrors.

It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that the 2010 LS hybrid was a facelift similar to this image, but I don’t think we’re looking at the final version here, but more likely a photochop from a Japanese magazine.
For comparison’s sake, here’s the 2009 model:
