Default Can 2013 LS600h Headlights fit 2008 LS460?

Hi Guys,

I tried searching for this but didn't seem to have any luck. I have a 2008 LS460 I want to keep the body and just put a wald lip kit for it. As for the lights I was gonna buy a older set like 07-12 ls600h headlights but before I do that I wanted to see if the 2013+ LS600h headlights would fit my 08 without changing the bumper or fender. If would be great if someone can give me some advise thanks!

The headlight shapes for the 2008 and 2013+ MYs are quite different, especially the upper fender panel. I doubt very much the 2013 part would fit without installing a new fender.

You would have to also replace the entire front clip. Hood, fenders, bumper, grille, etc. I also don't know that they bolt right up...2013 was a really extensive refresh.

The easiest solution would be to get a set of 2007-2009 LS600 headlights and wiring harness. The 2010-2012 LS600 Headlights will fit but there will be a gap under the headlight where the bumper meets. So if you go with the 2010-2012 headlights you'll want the 2010-12 front bumper too. As for the 2013+ headlights you'll need every front panel and bracket forward the windshield to make them fit (unless you do something custom and have the current fenders, hood and front bumper modded).

There are headlight units on eBay starting at $975 per side. Pretty pricey....
