Hi and welcome.

I've moved your post out of the big modification thread where it will get lost.

If you try using search in this forum, just look for 'headlights' in thread titles you'll find a number of threads on this topic. Here are some examples I found by searching, there are more

F-sport it's not plug and play, like 450h or non-fsport

I'm assuming you're converting from 2014 to the triple beams 2016+? If so, it is no plug and play, extensive wiring is required.

2016+ to triple beam is plug and play, but you need Techstream though.

@MHAYBURN14 you can also do the aftermarket triple beam LEDs as well which are plug and play. @JoshIS408 has them on his 4GS and gave a positive review. Here are some links:

I know they have triple beams on Alibaba for the 13-15 GS. I know several people that rock them with great insights.

Per other threads here, you’ll need to swap out the front bumper for a 2016 plus version… and iirc there are other steps to consider.

(the old to new 16+ OEM style do not work on 2016+ because connector is different only 2013-2015) Dont quote me on it though as I have not physically tried but have seen some positive reviews in FB.

The issue that really sucks is that all the other Lexus Models have the same type options for the aftermarket Triple LED's starting at only $485. But the 4th Gen GS ones are over $1800.
