Default 2017+ Rear Lights

hi everyone,

has anyone done the rear light conversion from the 2014-2016 to the 2017 model years? it should be a direct fit, or i'm assuming so, anyhow, part number or vendor anyone?

My guess is wire connector plug may have changed but nothing a bit of wire spicing can't fix

i found these on mylparts -- https://www.mylparts.com/oem-parts/l...1sZXh1cw%3D%3D -- although there isn't the portion that attaches to the trunk in the illustration. lexuspartsnow isn't showing anything.

edit: i found these as well -- https://www.mylparts.com/oem-parts/l...PWxheWVyXzE%3D

are those two the correct parts? does anyone know if the housing has changed from the 2014-2016 and the 2017+ models?

If the trunk lid is the same for a 2016 and 2017 IS, then that portion of the light will fit.
If the rear quarter panels and bumper are also the same, then the outer portion of the light is also the same.
Honestly looking at the lights, the housing appears to be the same.

My friend did swipe his rear tail lights + diffuser to 2017 F-sport. See pictures attached for all the parts numbers you need to install the tail lights. No modification needed.

Looks pretty good. Do you have any other pictures/angles of the rear?
Hard to see it in that lighting. I was thinking of converting to the 2017 diffuser w/aftermarket exhaust as well.
