why do do you keep insisting that 2017 headlights won’t fit 14-16 or 14-16 headlights won’t fit 17? You are comparing an after market part (trunk) to what is OEM from factory. Sorry you had a bad experience with the aftermarket trunk that is met for 14-16 IS. Please don’t discourage others if you don’t know for sure that OEM lights won’t be interchangeable with OEM trunk. Thank you
On another note, if any of you with a 2017 tail lights would like to swap with my 14-16 tail lights please let me know.

Excellent stuff Mesh704 you made my day! I'll be doing the switch too, only the other way around. Taking out 17 tail lights putting in 16. I checked all the part #s you mentioned all check out fine. Two questions. 1) You bought socket & wire connectors. Is that a must, didn't the original s&w fit because a member in another thread said wires didn't need a change? 2) You ordered bulbs. Didn't the old bulbs fit? A million thanks again buddy!

the reason I say this is because this is a forum where people get information. I tried this with my 2017 with 2 seibon trunks with no avail. I'm just letting members know of my experience with trying to get this part on my vehicle. If you haven't tried on your own to do this swap then we don't need your input. Try it first then talk. I did.

Perfect Jeff. Very useful. I'm doing the 17 going to 14-16. Question? Is it a definite that the wire&socket parts (#3, 4 and 9 - in your sequence) and the bulbs are really needed for the conversion? Will the current ones in my 17 not work?
Coincidently, wife, I and my IS drove/ferried over to Victoria BC from Seattle this morning on a short trip. You sure have amazingly smooth roads up there I must say compared to greater Seattle area! Highway/bridge network around Vancouver and heading south to the Tsawwassen ferry were F1 perfect tarmac.

Look at what I got in the mail today!
