i just saw 09 isx50 yesterday for the first time.
the tail lights are better than the ones i have (07)
can the 09 tail lights fit my car??

 

Yes they will fit and there's a member trying to get rid of his 09 parts for 06-08s

 

Yes the swap is easy. You just have to cut or bend a piece of the trunk in order for it to fit on the pre09s. If you have any questions PM me.

 

I swapped my '07 IS350 with '09 tail a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it does fit with a bit of cutting, not a lot. '09 Looks GREAT and the design flows better with the body lines IMO.

 

any pics of what you have to cut?

 

After half a model year on the road, I've concluded I like the 09's better during the daytime and the '06-08's better at night. Funny how opinions change the more you see something.

 

Pictures of the trunk area that needed to be mod. would be great.

 

When you take out the inner tail light there's a pocket that holds the light, on the pre09s there is a extra piece you have to cut or bend (we just took a hammer and bended it to fit) its really easy. I should have taken pictures. 1-10 on a difficulty scale it would be 3 (1 being easy)

I think its the part that I put in the square that you have to either cut or bend. I didn't have to do it, the guy who I swapped with did. Not sure if he wants me to post his name here.
