Yes. From my understanding its behind the emblem. I would ask the dealer. I think you would be safe but dont take my word for it. Thats the only option I dont have on the car.

Should be fine.

Changed mine for a badgeless carbon version. The cruise control sensor isn't connected to the grill.

If you look behind the grill, you'll see the little black box.

Cheers.

Sorry to say you were misled my friend.

I have the same setup as you with the active cruise control etc, but now use a badge-less carbon grill.

Have a look at my build thread if you want.

No reason why you can't do the same, or something else without the big 'L' badge!

Found my old thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ing-wrong.html

Seems like half the responses were saying I can't change it, unless I'm missing something

No, I heard similar things when I was looking to change mine.

Took the chance and ordered it regardless. Fortunately my body guy and I were able to swap them over without any issues.

Just look behind your current grill. You'll see there are no wires or connections attached.

As I said, I'm going off my own car which has a badgeless carbon grill fitted with no issues regarding my active cruise control etc.
