I have read numerous threads regarding facelift bumper conversions but havent found what I need. I would like to ask people who have already done this to help with the part list and any further issues. It's an European 2014 GS450H President line with a light front end damage (bumper, both headlights cracked, grill, aluminum bar), so I will be needing complete front end anyway. My question is what else do I need apart from complete bumper/grill setup and headlights? Car has optional triple LED headlights from the factory. How different is wiring for facelift LED and prefacelift LED headlights? 2016+ models have DRL as separate units in bumper, which concerns me the most. Also Ive seen single LED and triple square LED lights. Are there any other differences in bumper mounts, headlight lower brackets etc. Prices are not an issue in this case. thank you in advance
I have seen this link in some other posts, but I prefer genuine parts and cant make up my mind if I should do the 2016+ front end or just get a 2014 F SPORT bumper and buy triple led lights as it was before. I wonder what is the difference in wiring if I install single led facelift headlight and the three square led lights, by the way they are cheaper here than the prefacelift LEDs
I currently live in South Korea, I have seen one car here with a conversion kit from Japan. It has the same look like the ebay's one. It was not bad.
I'm thinking of purchasing this. I've searched the threads here but I didn't find one completed conversion. Found something is the IS forum that says that it doesn't line up properly and certain things had to be removed and that the bumper may require clamps to secure. I'm sure a good body shop would make it work.

@@LexinOnEm: those are the 2013-2015 OEM Triple LED headlamps. A few rare 13-15 GS's had these (hybrids only i believe). They are very expensive usually over $2000 each headlamp at the dealer. Some cheaper prices on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-Lexus-...T/192710889571
They are really nice (adds a unique, meaner look IMHO). The Triple LEDs on the newer models are also well executed (NX, RX, GS). The newer ones look more like this:

Been eyeballing that as well, was never sure about going to the 16+ front end since the '15 used the older front end. May change that a good body shop can make it work though. Really would like to update the front end of my non-fsport '15
