Default 2013 gs350 f sport bumper question

I am thinking of changing my non fsport bumper to the f sport bumper with the mesh grills. Lexus is telling me that the headlights don't fit and need to be changed? Can someone who did this mod let me know? thank you!

Some folks have simply added the upper and lower mesh grilles to the non-F bumper as a simpler/cheaper solution. Others went the full way but as other posters said, its a straight fit full replacement for the non-f bumper. Here's a few helpful threads:

Does this mean the non F-sport grills will work on the F-sport bumper? I like the look of the F-sport bumper, but prefer the look of the horizontal grill rather than the mesh.

The upper grille is an insert that snaps into place with the chrome surround. It is basically interchangeable between the f-sport mesh grille insert and the horizontal, standard grille insert regardless of the bumper type.

The lower grille is slightly different in that the mesh and tabs on the F-sport lower grille insert are not exactly the same. Someone in the thread below mentioned that you'd need to cut off tabs to make the F-Sport lower grille fit the non-F bumper. Following that logic, fitting the non-F grille to the F-sport bumper should be a non-issue as the lower :

You'll definitely be the first one with the aggressive shape of the f-sport bumper with the lux-look of the horizontal grilles!
