Default Lexus es headlights

Hello I have a lexus es350 2010 with oem headlights and I was looking at doing some mods to them, i bought a led light strip kit for them but i really dont like how they look. I tried searching online for headlights but couldnt find any. Not only that but everything that would come up would be for the 2010 is250. Anyway the is250 aftermarket headlights would fit on the es? Or another way is could i get newer style lexus lights like either the 2013 ones or the 2017 ones and would they fit?

Also another question im looking for a new steering wheel like in the 2013 lexus es350 new steering wheel and airbag anyone know where to get one that fits?.

OEM/Aftermarket Lexus IS headlight housings will not fit your ES 350. OEM/Aftermarket 2013 (and onward) ES 350 headlight housings will not fit your ES 350.

The aftermarket cosmetic and performance parts for the Lexus IS 250/350 F are more abundant than the ES. You may still be able to find some, but due to lack of demand (in comparison to IS market) they may not be the highest quality.

In regards to installing a carbon fibre steering wheel from the IS/RC and OEM 2013 ES (and onward) steering wheel; they may fit, but you may not be able to use all of the function if any at all. It may require rewiring and re-programming with no guarantee of functions actually working. Removing and installing a steering wheel is best suited to an experienced mechanic, as the airbag needs to be deactivated first via disconnecting the battery and steering wheel torqued to the correct specification.

I would advise against it given the cost of parts and labour involved.

I would also advise against tampering with your OEM headlight housing. Installing a DRL style light strip requires removing the plastic lens which is not meant to be removed. If you do manage to take the lens off without damaging the housing, it will need to be resealed either by using some form of automotive adhesive or a gasket to keep moisture out.
