The seller does not make it too clear.

When i installed my lights i wanted to check where the main issue was before i started to make my cuts and not mess the brackets up. Then i realized i didn't have to cut anything. if you see my post below you will see the brackets were not even touched, although i was only able to mount 2 screws.

This is the same issue others run with the 2012 LED tails. some say you have to cut/bend tabs, while i didn't modify/cut tabs on the lamps when i had my 08 is250. Now with the IS-F i installed the rear lights once again without braking any tabs or any type of modification.

Actually I did, and the issue lies in that the ISF brackets stick out further than the ISx50. Most likely for the extra support needed on the heavier/longer bumper of the ISF.

As for the trunk, the only people who will have to modify for a flush fitment of the 2009+ taillights, are 06/07 cars. Everyone else will not need to do anything for the taillights.

Quick Example..
When I got my lights, they came off a 2011 IS350... The brackets that came with my lights fit onto the light perfectly...
But I can tell the cliping layout for the IS-F bumper would not be ideal..

Therefore I decided to dremel/modify MY08 brackets to fit over the LED dome cap, which still only allowed two screws to work... But the bumper clips in correctly..

Only other solution would be to goto the dealer and buy 2011+ IS-F LH & RH bumper light brackets, which need ZERO modifying and allow ALL 3 screws to fasten underneath correctly.. Since they are properly designed for this bumper & Led housing..

However, my only gripe is the flashing AFS light on the dash!

Any solutions for that that do not involve tape?

My lights are 2012 with the eyelid (version), if you check my post regarding the fitment. i did not have any issues or gaps and it mounted up without an issue.

And there was no conflict with the bottom dome cap not clearing the brackets ??

Just trying to get clarification on your actual experience...

Thanks,

Would have loved to see close up pics of the 2008 bracket and dome cap installed on the 2012 housing...
