I see there is not much or no discussion at all on how many people interested in new headlights and trailights, only 1 thread is about buying headlight from japan. I am more interested in the taillight and keep thinking about the shape and today I did a little comparison....

I believe the outer housing are the same, the significant shape difference is the inner lamp. I could not find two prefect matching angle pictures but I did my best overlapping on 2014 and 2018 CTs.

Outer lamp you can see from the comparison picture, it is almost the same, however, while pictures are not in the same angle gaps on door and windows are not lining up.

Both inner lamp bottom side are the same width, but 2018 lamp the upper curve is different and is longer, however, the spoiler which has lexus logo on is removable and is made of plastic, so at this point you might figure something here too.....

It is unknown on the fitment behind lamps, if anyone has picture on the backend of new lamps then we might be able to compare up...

Too bad I am no longer working otherwise I would buy a set of 2018 lamps and spoiler piece to try them out... This is just a FYI, nothing is guaranteed, if you want to try it it is at at your own risk!

Not many enthusiasts here huh? Thanks for the post. I suspect the tail light can be changed with requirement of that rear plastic panel swapped out. No way Toyota is investing tooling to redo the rear quarter panel. Honestly though I Kinda like the old style better. As for the ehadlights those I'd definitely swap out. I wonder if it's a single projector koito BI-LED? As for the waterfall grill, seems like that would be a direct swap. as well as the LED fogs but you'd need the trim piece. (from my brief look at the photo) seems the actual bumper is the same?

are you talking about getting the 2018 taillights on in a 2014+?
