i guess the only difference between IS and IS-F tail lights is the outer section with clear (IS-F) turn signal glass instead of orange (IS)
that outer section on IS can be easily replaced with one from IS-F, some people did it over here

You will need both the outers & inners in order for them to be flush...
This information below is NO CHARGE..
I will just keep it simple here..
The 2009 Taillights bulge out (a lot more) of the bodylines of the new IS.
Mainly along the bottom of the side-rear fender area and trunk lid.
This bulge is very apparent on both the Inner & Outer Tail Light housings.
You really cannot see the difference from straight on when taking a pic of the rear, so I took some different angle pics that actually show the differences.
Not sure if anyone thought about using these on an 06' to 08' IS or the IS-F, but if you did you would NOT be able to mix and match these housings up, between the different years or models.
I am glad I have my IS-F tails...
Here are my "cell phone" pics
