Default 09 IS350 LED Taillights fitment?

Hello everyone,

just want to thank in advance for those who respond and give me some advice on this question.

I was looking to get this LED Taillights from Ebay.....

here is the address
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191067796411?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The problem is that it says that is only for models between 06-08, and mine is an 09.

To me they seem to be the same, and I think they will fit, but I don't want to take the risk before confirming with some of you who may have already fitted them already on a 2009 IS model.

Thanks

Default Eagle Eyes LED Taillights for IS350 2009 experience

OK so I bought the taillights, I was hoping to get some feedback first but no one posted anything. Anyway I decided to get them and I am having some problems with it, so I decided to share it with you guys.

My Car it's a 2009 IS350, and this is the experience that I had with them.

I was able to installed the outer side of the lamps since they provided me with a LED transfer wire (an adapter) that looked like the picture bellow.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...1&d=1394062037

I was able to fit this cable but I had to cut off the plug clip in order to make it fit.

The other problem is that the bulb holder for the turn signal does NOT fit into the lamps because its a different pattern. so somehow I made to stay just enough and then I taped it so it didn't fall.

Then, I ran into a bigger problem, the was no cable or transfer wire for the inner lamps, so guess what, the OEM plug is too big to fit the tails's one. I'm so frustrated!!!

I have contacted ANZOUSA they are the eagle eyes manufacturer, but so far they haven't given me any answers.

Can anybody help me please!!!

Any help will be appreciated.

I think I remember someone saying you can dremel out the hole bigger for the turn signal or get amber led bulbs that are smaller but still fit the harness.

How about the inner lamp cable adapter? you have any thoughts on that.
The OEM plug is to big to fit the plug on the eagle eyes lamp, the outer lamps came with an wire adapter that made the fit possible, but not these

Here are some pics...the last picture is the eagle eye inner lamp. That plug is too small, it doesn't fit.

This is exactly what I need...its called "Eagle Eye EE-TY901 LED transfer wire for an ' 09 IS350 "

2 ways to make itt work. U might have to get the Oem harness for 06 isx250. Or hard wire the harness to the lamp with your Oem harness to save money. Cuz I have 06 is250 and I up graded mine to 09 isx50 tail light and I had to get 09-10 x250 harness. The harness might cost around $50 for both side. Check with the dealer or ebay.

That sound like a good plan, Thanks for the idea.

I also heard of something called "wire to wire micro connectors" I will try to get a adapter build that will fit each side, like the outer lamps had. I think Someone needs to make this adapters/sockets..for either the male or female side.

If I have no luck I will use the option you suggested which seems like a good one also.

Either way I will post the what I ended up doing here.

Thanks for all advice.

Thanks for the advice again man. That was exactly what I ended up doing, I went to one of my local Lexus dealers and asked for the 06-08 Wiring Harness. It costed me 25 Bucks each, got them installed and worked like a beauty.
