The blinker on the ISX50 has an amber lens, where the ISF tai lights have a clear lens for the blinker with a orange bulb.

Only difference is the turn signal - ISx50 is amber, IS-F is clear:

Off-topic, but what is that cool-looking exhaust on the IS with the IS-F tail-lights?

If you want a look that's very comparable to the IS-F lights, you can opt for the ebay clear taillights.

I honestly think the amber looks better, or plain red.

yeah not a big difference between the two... but Lexus should have made the tails for the 2IS all red. That would have been better.
