The Blue car has JDM tri-LED headlamps that is not available in American soil market vehicles.
Need to source them and import them over separately.

You are right that the Grey car in middle is non-Fsport, but in America that is the headlamp we got for Fsport also.

IMO the older dual-LED headlights are better-looking than the single headlights of the newer cars. I can't understand how the bumper is different enough to be worth swapping, either.

The triple beam looks cool but honestly doesn't perform well. Actually performs worse than the other Lexus options. The superior one is likely the newest large single projector.

So this is confirmed? To fit a 2017 Headlight on a 2014 requires only the 17' headlight and 17' bumper? What about the grill?

of course the grill is needed, that is on the bumper.

Am planning to install the JDM triple LED headlights on my 2017 IS.
Appreciate any advice if it's plug and play or would rewiring and coding be needed? Thanks

Thanks v much for the quick reply.
Am so glad it's plug and play. As it costs me around USD 6k for a new set, can I double confirm no error code would flash up and no coding needed? A local shop told me coding is needed but they have not done it on any car yet.

It's a huge expense so I like to be sure.

Thanks again for the help and your car looks so cool!
