Hello
Can someone tell me definitively if 2014 headlights are plug and play for a 2011 IS F ?

 

I can't give you a 100% definitive answer, but most products like headlights are offered as being compatible for 08-14, like these VLands.
https://vlandshop.com/product/06-12-...with-blue-drl/.

One thing you could do is call your local Lexus dealership and confirm the part number for the 11 and 14 year headlamp models. If they're the same part number, you know they're compatible.

 

Thanks Lushman for the timely response.
The dealer cant/wont do backwards compatibility. Understandable.
V Lands are not an option for me personally.
I searched the forums a while back and think I found someone who said they would work.
Since I'm ready to pull the trigger I'm looking for confirmation.
Thanks again for your time.

 

The last date I can find for a part number change is for cars produced 09/2011, so if your build sticker shows after September 2011 production, your lights are interchangeable through the end of the model run.

 

Hi Barnyardavich,
First of all, listen to lobuxracer.

Second of all, sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant if you call the dealer asking for the part number for a '11 ISF headlight, get that part number, then call back and ask for the part number for a '14 headlight, then you could use that as confirmation it's the same part number. But forget that now, just listen to lobux.

 

Thanks lobux.
My production date is 07/2011.
Am I out of luck?
Were the changes simply in temperature or connection?
And thanks again Lushman I've been lurking long enough to know to trust and respect lobuxracers advice!

 

I wish I could tell you what changed, but the only thing I know for sure is the part number change. It might be trivial, or it might not.
