Great pickup! Been trying to figure out how to add the led headlamps on the newer model Fsport. Found a pair of headlights but I dont what's needed.

What year is your GS? When you say newer model f sports do you mean the 16+ models?

Any chance you’ve come across lux packages with the rear manual sun shades? Been trying to find some to install on my fsport

Please post back with the results! I have a 2013 Luxury package and wouldn’t mind doing both of these mods myself, if they are easy. I’m particularly interested in how the grilles are done and how difficult the process is, as that is a less expensive project. But the LED headlamps would be sweet to do eventually as well if it is easy and I can find a relatively inexpensive pair!

The upper grill is a direct swap.
The lower grill you have to trim some tabs. Just compare it to the original one and trim the extra tabs.

I have to take the bumper off to install the headlights, so it's a good time to do everything together.

I'm not too familiar with the triple beam LEDs in the 16+ models but i do know you need the LED computers in order to get them to work.

Gloss black grills FTW. Had mine painted black then cleared, put them in a couple weeks ago.

I agree Gloss Black looks like the way to go. Did you paint that yourself? What paint did you use?

I did not, I had a friend who owns a body shop do them. So he used automotive paint and clear.

The car is dirty in the pics. The led's are bright, hard to capture in the daytime, but everything works.

I guess most F-Sports have:

INSTRUMENT PANEL, HEADLAMP SWIVEL, W/ O ADAPTIVE, HEADLAMP SWIVEL, W/ O ADAPTIVE
So I purchased the 89940-30250 ecu and installed it today to find out it doesn’t work. The afs light goes off for 5 seconds and goes back on. I don’t see the headlights swiveling either. Pretty bummed..
