Default 2013 Lexus gs350 Awd 2016-18 conversion

A few changes I’ve done so far
bc coilovers , then I did the bags over coilovers on airlift management v2 , 3 piece ag wheels , 2016-20 Lexus GS350 sport front end conversion , retro fitted the new headlights and used the factory headlight harness by removing the hid ballast and projectors from my old headlights . Used my factory parking sensors by redrilling the parking sensor holes a lil bigger .so the old ones could fit . There was a lot of modifications done to the headlights to get them to work . But was well worth it . I tried searching forums for answers on the wiring cause I didn’t want to cut into my factory headlight harness. So my solution was using everything out the old headlights and put them into the new one .

I just thought about this and the very first thread was yours! Read my mind and Very clean sir! Did you have to swap the hood and fenders? And did you have to cut the foam reinforcement bar or modify the crash beam in any way to fit newer bumper? Did you have to replace the brake duct vents? Sorry for all the questions! I would love to refreshed the front end

sorry for the dumb questions a couple years back lol but it looks like from your pics that the front end from a 2016 was a direct fit with the hood and fenders of a 2013
I think NIA has a hardness conversion for $350 now but we’ll see
that’s a bunch of work for the headlights
thanks
