Sure, you can do anything if you have enough money.

This will be VERY expensive, as the lamp modules are likely $1,500 each, so that's potentially $5-6k just in lights, then parts, painting, etc. Cheaper to just trade it on a 16-17.

@se15ls I see your point be expansive to buy all the parts but my car I just paided it off and don't want to get back in paying payments so appreciate your reply though

Then put your ES as a trade, plus the cash you were going to invest in this swap towards buying a used 16 in cash.

The other side of this swap is it will actually hurt your resale value on your 14, so its a double hit. It just doesn't make sense to do this.

The rear taillights could be a straight swap because the rear bumper and sheet metal wasn't changed for 2016. I'd skip the front, you'd need new parts for everything in front of the bonnet.
