Yes my headlights still have that part Nixus. Also I did not re-use my front sensors since they don't fit the new sensor brackets. I completely turned them off. You will also need to cut the brake ducts on the F-sport. Not sure if you do on the lower trims

Someone mentioned earlier that you would be able to salvage the sensors if you cut the whole bigger to make them fit the new bumper. Also, what brake ducts are you talking about?

I have an F-sport so I have brake ducts at the bottom of the bumper. Also the brackets and positioning of the sensors behind the grill and bumper made them hard to attach. Specially behind the grill because they're so recessed

Yeah i'm looking at my options but I think this is the way i'm gonna go. I can't find a set of 2016 headlights right now. I was also told that the 2016 non triple beam headlights should be plug in play with my car, can anyone confirm this? I really hope the sensors won't be an issue because everything else looks pretty easy without too much work.

The 2016 headlights are not plug and play. They both share the same connector so if anything the triple beam may be plug and play with a non triple beam '16+. The sensors don't fit. Either do some custom work or run the '16+ sensors re-wired somehow. It sucks lol

Could you go into detail in why they wouldn't fit? From the looks of it it seems like I can drill a bigger hole into the 16' bumper and put the old ones in. The only issue it looks like would be that the parking sensors would need some custom mounting.

They need custom mounting for sure. Not sure about the hole size because the brackets on the new bumper don't allow you to test that. On the grill area they definitely don't work. You need a really long sensor for those two as the grill is pretty thick compared to the old bumper center piece

Well i'm most likely gonna use the f sport grill and the hole for the sensor is shorter than the non f sport grill so i think it'll be easier. Im hoping that the shop will be able to custom mount them in. Here are some pics of the grill to see what im talking about and a photoshop photo of what it would look like with a non f sport grill. The last photo is of the sensor on my car now.

Thanks! Photoshop looks great! Gives me an idea as to what my car can potentially look like.

The 2016+ facelift is a big job.

If your doing it just to update the grill, you can also:

1) Use the AIMGAIN 2016 F Sport Conversion Bumper for GS350 2013-15



2) Use the factory Lexus GS350 2013-15 F Sport Front Bumper/Grill
-- Add Skipper Front Bumper Garnish (or paint the center bumper section matte black)
-- Add an F Sport Lip like AIMGAIN, Lexon, or Skipper
