The car in the picture is a Euro Spec and there you can do that. Actually every country except ours you can have the fog lights on without having the lights on or with the high beam lights.

I have a lot of people ask me how much is the conversion going to cost, it's gonna cost a pretty penny. I have several invoices but won't know the final price as I'm still working out what parts I still need. The list prices from Lexus are:
Front Bumper ...................... $334.39
F-Sport Lower Grill ............... $50.22
Upper Grill Bezel ................... $73.47
F-Sport Upper Grill Inner ........ $218.62
F-Sport R GFX Lip ................. $137.09
F-Sport L GFX Lip ................. $137.09
Foglight R ........................... $197.86
Foglight L ........................... $197.86
Everything listed here adds up to $1346.60 list price (that's including the F-Sport upper/lower grills, and LH/RH GFX lips). I got these parts a lot cheaper than list price, but only because I'm fortunate enough to have friends that owns a shop. I asked my friend to order the foglight mounting brackets, he ordered them but I forgot to ask him how much they were. I wouldn't have done this if that thing didn't hit me but might as well make something out of it since insurance is paying for it and I have options on how to use that money. Hell, I could've kept my bumper with bandages and got me some nice BBK's instead..

Keep in mind Sewell wants $1776.86 for the 2011 bumper parts + both gfx lips. $1355.80 only covers what you listed minus both gfx lips. A lot of those retainers/fasteners can be reused from the old bumper. I don't know what their kit comprises of but so far my "kit" amounts to $1346.60 INCLUDING both lips and upper/lower F- Sport grills. Add the foglight mounting brackets and it's still a far shot from $1776.86. $1346.60 is also list price. If you or somebody can get you a discount, then it'll be a whole lot less than $1776... Don't get me wrong, I love Sewell Lexus, but I don't understand how their kit amounts to what they listed when what I listed are list/msrp prices and still come up less than to what they offer. Other than that, Sewell, please don't ban/hate me! You guys have great killer deals, I just don't think this is one of them..

I'm using the '11 bumper absorber foam in the preliminary fitment. I will try to fit the '11 bumper on with the '09 absorber foam to see if the minor shape difference matters. Even if it didn't fit, nothing some shaving can't fix.

That's why I love Sewell, quick to serve the community when needed. I saw that last month when me and my friend were shopping for parts but the discount didn't show up then. We were logged in too but the ClubLexus price showed up as the same amount. Huge discount now I must comment. Two thumbs up for now offering the F-Sport bumper kit with the grills.

Sorry took so long to reply, all the parts been sitting in my garage and the bumper just needs to get painted. Been too busy to deliver the bumper to the shop..but will try to do that this week.
