Hi everyone,

first time posting here but spent a lot of time reading you guys.

I'm about to buy my second IS250 second gen, sold my first one which was a RWD because it was a nightmare driving it in the winter of Montreal. After a FX35 and a TSX I'm now back with my first love, the IS250. It's a 2012 model and I've realized that the mesh F-grill is an absolute must on the IS but all the grills that I can find only fits 06-08 models. Do you guys know where I can buy the F-grill for a 2012?

Also, I'd like to change the low beam bulbs. Just want to make sure the bulb is the D4S. Any recommendations for someone that likes a blue-ish tint (5000k or 6000k)?

I also need to install a rear spoiler. Should I buy the OEM from Lexus or the plastic ones on ebay at 80$ is good enough?

I'd love to get them all and make them installed by the dealer before taking delivery of it.


Thanks in advance guys.

Also, I tried my best to gather all the informations on this forum before making this thread but I did not find all the infos so please excuse me if this was discussed before.

There's f sport grille for sale on ebay for 2011-2013 but only oem makes them no aftermarket so it's gonna cost u alittle. It is d4s bulb for oem hid and h11 for halogen and 5000k is pretty much just white but that gives u the better lumen on the road 6000k is white/blue with less lumen it really depends what brand ur hid is.. most popular brand is philips , osram , garax , xenondepot. As for the spoiler I don't think is necessary to get oem getting the $80 spoiler can be a hit or missed on fitment some vendor have good fitment and some have horrible fitment depends on ur luck. Oem spoiler r designed to screw on so u will have to drill holes on ur trunk to mount it. All these mod r very easy to diy just search the forum

Thank you very much for your helpful reply. Really appreciated.

Sorry for the noob question. For the headlights. I'm not sure if I understand. Which bulb should I buy. The D4S or the H11 or I have to check if my car has HID, if so I buy the D4S and if it's halogen, I have the buy the H11?

Yup u just need the d4s bulb if it's equipped with oem hid but if ur is halogen then u need a h11 hid conversion kit.
