No you wouldn’t need them. You can use the ones your 2017 already has. I believe only the ones with previous years need it.

If purely for performance, I would not swap to the triple beam LED. In terms of output, it's a downgrade with poor performance.
Low beams:
LED projector : 79/42m (right/left)
Triple Beam LED 66/33m
High beams:
LED projector: 155/154m
Triple Beam LED: 135/125m
Triple beam does look better appearance wise, but performs poorly.
The strongest car on the planet thus far is Prius V with its highly-regarded Koito Bi-LED unit. We can't get strong LED performance in our ISs because of its small form factor. You need (with current state of lighting tech) a large headlight like a Prius with room to disperse the heat LEDs generate. Can't do that in a performance sedan with sexy styling therefore smaller LED/heat management is used and therefore lower output.
I'm one of the strongest lighting "gurus" from over in the BMW world with tons of swaps/retros under my belt. This is my bread and butter.
Don't swap to triple LED if you want performance.

Yeah it is mainly for looks I would say. Not need of much lightning here in California City area. If anything I will try and find a way to retrofit fog light like the GS-F style in the future for better lighting.

I tried puting my tail lights from my 2017 is350 f sport on a seibon trunk I ordered and they are not close to a direct fit. Housing is close but will need body work to fit flush. Just throwing it out that you may need the trunk for your conversion.

Your case may just be a poorly made mold of the trunk by seibon. bad current batch if others had good luck in past.
I received my rear diffuser from seibon and after looking and trying to fit it, i turned me away from seibon forever. I ended up selling it off due to how poor it was made in my opinion. The whole time I thought i was doing something wrong but during the drying process they allowed some mounting points to dry in a totally different angle (45 degree) and was no way I was able to install it like OEM would've.

Triple Beam Headlights Where Can I purchase these for a IS 300 2017
Hi,
I have seen these square Triple Beam Headlights which would fit my 2017 IS300. Can anyone please help me out on where I can find them, also the contact information of a dealer that has them. I asked one other fellow, but all he said was Japan. Talk about being vague here. I asked him where in Japan. No answer.
