Did a test fitment of the parts today. Here is an overview on how it looks like all connected.
EDIT #4:
Okay, I found the connector. I think the connector on my harness interfaces with the pre-existing wiring in my car. And the car should in theory have the connector that plugs into the opener assembly. That makes sense to me. I guess I'll find out next weekend when I go at this again.

From Justin's link you can see, I circled in red the connector taped/wrapped on the wiring harness:
Also for the trunk lid I think the difference in the wiring harness is just the plug/wiring for the power trunk close switch. I too am trying to source cheap parts and if I figure it out, wire the power trunk lid switch myself. Found a couple cars online in junk yards that might have the power trunk, let's see if I can get the parts for cheap

Top left is the kick sensor auto trunk opener.
Bottom left is various nuts, bolts, clips
Top right is power trunk lift motor. Next to that is the power trunk close switch
Bottom right is soft close trunk latch.

You have the correct pins. Why did you think you have the wrong one?
The plug for the power trunk lift motor is already in our car see my older post. The one you purchased they just cut the harness from the car so it came with the plug/wire in it.

Oh, you are right. I don't know, I thought mine may have been different since I bought it from a Japanese auction so it was a different region. Glad to see the pins are the same. Thank you.

@eddie420 and @peasodos ,
you guys are the best. thank you for detail information on the project. I have 2015 GS350 and looking forward to do this in spring.
@peasodos , as you point out there is a connector ready wired in the trunk, is this mean I don't need to purchase the wiring hardness like Eddie420 mentioned earlier on his post right?
@eddie420 , on your post #39, what is the conclusion on your connectors different ? any mod needed or just straight plug in?
thank you again gentlemen.

The trunk lift motor is prewired. It connects to an existing plug in the trunk. I actually haven't checked my car to see if it's actually there in the USA model, hopefully it is
You still need the correct wiring harness for the trunk lid itself. This harness has the plugs for the soft close door latch and the button to close the trunk. Your stock one does not have these plugs.

I checked on ebay and found most parts except the trunk lid wiring hardness. the luggage assembly is $1000. damn... lexus know how to get $$$$.
are you actually from NJ? I am in Branchburg (toward flemington, NJ)

@peasodos where did you buy the trunk lid wiring hardness? what are those nuts and clips part for?
Nuts and clips for bolting power trunk lift motor, trunk close switch, i just bought oem. They basically had a bag for each nut, so looks like more than it is.
