Wink Converting 2012 RX450 front end to 2013

Hello all, I would like to get some in depth information on converting my 2012 front end to the spindle grill and 2013 headlights. I notice many of us like the look and would like to do it but only a few go all the way. According to the guys that went all the way, swapping the grill and bumper including the smaller parts needed for proper fitment is not a difficult task. The biggest issue seems to be rewiring for the new headlights and dealing with the AFS light illuminated on the dash. Can anyone advise on exactly what needs to be done in order for the lights to work properly and how to fix the AFS light issue? I already know the answer of not making the conversion would fix the problem, so no need for that one

Your best bet is to PM member "dxr" since he did the swap.
