Any ideas if you can buy these tails new and how much they would cost?
The best price I could find online for all 4 new is $1400 shipped.
Here are the part numbers for the 2016 GS-F tail lights with Black chrome accents.
81551-30E10
81561-30E10
81580-30620
81590-30620
The 2016 GS 350 has chrome accents in the tail lights, but I like the blacked out look.
Assuming I can get $400 for the stock tail lights on eBay, the cost for this mod is about $1000. I might hold off on this mod for a couple months hoping I can find the parts for cheaper from a wrecked GS-F.

There is a thread on here somewhere of someone who did this and it included a video. It was a direct fit but had to do some custom wiring with the resisters I believe, due to hyper blinking. I can't remember the thread but I am doing this once I find a cheaper or used set of 2016+ tails.
This is the thread your referring too.
I checked eBay and there are plenty of the 2016+ non GSF tail lights and the price is not much different than a new set.
What are you looking at here, and how can I get it for me 2013? And by 'it' I mean the whole service manual.
You are looking at the pinouts for the stock outer and inter tail lights on your 2013 lexus gs. The bottom left side is the only thing that matters on that diagram.
For the GS-F inner tail light you have to rewire it. the pinout is apparently stamped on the new tail light, just move the wires to correspond to the pinoput on the original.
Also for the brake light you need to tap the outer tail light and run it to the inner tail light.
I ordered the GS-F tail lights, hoping to complete this mod within the next two weeks.
Great deal for someone, otherwise it's about $1400 brand new from Lexus for all 4. Based on the part numbers I posted before you would only need the right side outer tail light(81551-30E10) to get the complete set.
I used to like the 2013-2015 headlights more than the 16+ ones, but after seeing a few 16+ models with the LED lights at night I did a 180. I love how bright they shine at night, except for the fact that it's so damn similar to the stupid Hyundai Sonata hybrid taillights lol.
im going to be doing this soon. I bought all GS-F tails and was wondering if someone could email or message me the schematics. They aren’t showing up here anymore. Thanks
Brand new to this forum, picked up my 2015 GS350 F Sport this past November.
I love how our cars look but definitely love how the rear tail lights look on the 2016 model, I compared both tail lights side by side and seems like they are identical.
Would anyone have an idea if we could easily change our tail lights to the new ones without too much work?
Anyone with a 2016 is willing to open up their trunk area and look at the wiring to see if it's similar?
I moved from a '14 to a '16 and liked the old ones better at first, then the new ones grew on me. Now I look at the old ones and they look outdated. They don't look bad, just... older. They've certainly aged.
It’s been a while since I did this and I don’t have the wiring schematics but I can share a couple of notes:
1. For the outside lights, others previously shared that resistors need to be spliced between ground and the blinker lights. Pretty straightforward.
2. For the inside lights, since the connectors didn’t match, I simply pulled the wired pins out of the plastic connector and plugged them individually to the correct pins on the replacement light as follows:
RFL - Yellow
BACK - Blue
STOP - Red
TAIL - Green
GND - Black
If you wire it wrong, you might blow a fuse (fuse box is in the trunk on the left hand side behind a black plastic door).
