Default Facelift front end on 2009 ES350?

Hello! There is a totaled 2011 ES350 near me (Rear end damage) that is the same color as my car. My front bumper is covered in road chips and just overall doesn't look nice anymore. I love the look of the facelift 5th gens and just from eyeballing it, it looks like the bumpers line up the same (obviously would need different fog light assemblies and grille, etc. What I'd like to know is if anybody has done this before?

I remember someone on here asked the same question a while ago and was told the headlights are slightly different so it wouldn’t line up correctly. I know for a fact you’d need the fog lights as well

Funny you mention that, i purchased my 2009 used, and it definitely has a different bumper, and the headlights don’t line up right. I wonder if they’re 2010 headlights...

You need the bumper and the headlights.

Would the headlights from a 10-12 be plug n play on 07-09 models and work without any issues? I was wondering the same thing but to instead put the VLAND/DNAmotorsport front bumper (which “to the best of my knowledge” is only compatible with the 10-12 headlights - hence why I ask)
