Hi everyone--new to ClubLexus and modifying my 2018 GS 350 F Sport.

I found these alibaba triple-beam headlights, thinking of running the swap from the stock beams.

From everything I've read it seems I can't get a straight answer on plug-and-play compatibility (which makes sense for aftermarket parts) but if there's anybody knowledgeable/experienced enough with this type of upgrade here...how do these look? Does it look like I'd need to do any re-wiring? Any ECU modding to fix any dashboard errors?

Just can't tell whether or not it's worth going through the hassle, or if there would even be much of a hassle.

Any help is appreciated. Just doing what I can to avoid spending big on OEM.

bc I have seen many post on Facebook with those where some did the 16 - 20 GS350 Bumper upgrade and use them on their 2013 - 2015 GS. Also replaced their 2016 - 2020 I think if I remember correctly? They mentioned that the 2016 - 2020 did need Rewiring. Check or make a post on the Facebook G Stars Group. I saw Car-Act had them some time ago and they too mentioned about rewiring. Also be aware that they have been some failing 1 or 2 of the individual Beams on quite a few.

For a minute there I thought I was looking at a bclexus post and thought this post seems strange.

 

Sounds good--appreciate the info!

Sounds like a headache not worth my time in this case. Too many variables and things that can go wrong. lol

 

Yea I typo'd b/c by mistake at 1st. lol!

 

Lol me too! I was like, no way in hell did bclexus make this kind of purchase and then post about it

 

Don't do this. 99% of these lights, even if the light output is worth a damn and the projector is OK, they are fully integrated meaning if one LED light goes out, you have to drop the bumper and replace the entire unit. Not to mention, I'm not trying to fry my harness over some cheap Chinese junk. I have done the alibaba thing on my daughter's BMW F30 years back and in the end, even with the acceptable vendors, it is not worth the hassle. I'd be surprised if you get 2 years out of these lights. We ended up just forking over the money for OEM LCI lights and doing the coding.
