I was wondering the same thing. Really want a one piece grill like the new 2016's. Keep us posted if you find out more info.

It looks like it may be a direct fit, that is if u buy the headlights too but if there is a slight difference in the mounting holes it will destroy everything.

Then there is the wiring.

Was thinking the same. It should just be a direct fit I visited the Lexus store here in Vegas and they have a couple of 16's looks like it should work to the naked eye.

I believe the headlights on the '13-'15s are something like $1200+ a pop... assuming '16+ are the same price or more, that's a pretty pricy upgrade just to get the new bumper, even IF it's a direct fit. Guess it's cheaper than a whole new car though!

Edit: actually $1200+ each for the luxury model headlights, I think, which are adaptive. Not sure what the non-adaptive would cost, or what the 2016s come standard with.

i was going to say, if have to change the headlights, might as well trade up the whole car

In about 6 months, you will be able find the new (used) headlights on ebay, for half the price.

But does anyone know if the new DRL's are separate pieces or are they still part of the headlight?
If they are separate, then Lexus has changed the wiring. May not be easy to get those to work.

There is a point where swapping stuff just does not make sense anymore, I think this is one of those points

They look to be joined, but who knows what's behind the bumper cover. Who's going to be the first to buy a '16 and tear off its nose?

Just changed the drivers side headlight that cracked on my F Sport GS. $1700 plus 2 hours of labor.
