Go to spoilerlights dot com. Navigate to lexus GS section. Make sure to measure your light, mine was 15.5in i think, but some are different. Also check for the indent on the back side of the light before you order. When I did mine I removed the spoiler, unscrewed the 4 screws holding the light on, then before pulling it out I tied a wire to the ends of the current wire that will be pulled through the channel in the spoiler. Then you tie the wires from the new light and snake it through. Then you screw in the new light and connect the wires. Took me maybe 45min from start to finish. The light cost around $60.
