Many posters will post and seek info, once they get what they want, they fade away even after they promised to share the info.

It is possible . At Sewell Lexus parts , you can order all the bumpers , front and rear an even the moldings .
Then for the lights , go under 2013 lx and the led housings for the front lights can also be ordered.
Another words , every exterior feature can be bought and installed .
The only thing holding me back is the price . It will cost many thousands of dollars.
I also have a 2011 with 5 k miles . The price discourages me to proceed with the transformation.
Maybe I too will wait for 2014. Maybe not .

Would be nice if someone does decide to take the leap, they can post some before and after pic.

The front bumper spindle upgrade does fit as it should without the LED headlamps being installed. While the headlamps will physically fit, its the various wire harnesses that is the challenge. We've attempted the installation ourselves however faced a fair amount of difficulty with the wiring and the proper connects. If could work with some custom wiring connects but to make this a plug and play option is the challenge.

At present we have placed this modification on hold.

They have done it for the IS. So modifying it to fit the LX will not be hard, or so I believe.

Curious to see if someone does this and how it works out. I like the front idea, not as concerned with the rear.

Count me in as another that will be ordering the HID upgrade if it comes to market.

Please keep us in the loop Sewell. I've been buying products from Darrel for years now and they are always as promised.

Updates? Any one successfully add the new front bumper upgrade using the existing headlights?
