I know the corners would fit, I just swapped IS-F corners onto my '08 IS350. I'm sure the inner pieces would fit too.

Yes, it will fit. Lots of people put IS-F tails into their 06-08 ISx50s, including yours truly.

^ Most likely you'd need a new harness. I have a few people say the harness is the same though.

There is no wiring involved. The harnesses are plug and play. I can tell you this with 100% confidence because I have the old amber pieces and their harnesses sitting in boxes from when I swapped them out over the Independence Day weekend.

I pulled this up from the DIY.
