Default Difference between Model Years?

Hey guys!

Is there a website I can see the difference in model years? 2006-2007 etc?


In particular I am trying to find the difference between 2007-2008 is250..

Thanks!

Main points exterior wise. This is how i tell them apart. I know there are more

2006 = old bumpers and no turn signal mirror

2007-2008 = old bumpers with turn signal mirror

2009-2010 = new bumpers, new tailights, with turn signal mirror

2011 = redesign bumper new tailights / headlights.

Only '09+ has turn signal mirrors from the factory. You can distinguish '06 from '07 and '08 because it has no shark fin.

How come the 08 IS350 I have been looking at has a Shark Fin?

^ Because you read my sentence wrong. "You can distinguish '06 from '07 and '08 because it has no shark fin."

Thanks so much guys! Really helped,

Does the 08 have the LED taillights as opposed to the 07?

'06-'08 have the same tail lights. '09-'10 have different tail lights, and '11+ tail lights look like '09-'10 except with clear lenses over the turn signals. ALL 2IS tail lights are LED, but the '09+ ones have more, but smaller LEDs, giving it a different look.

^ Yup. You're probably just used to seeing the LED turn signal mod on '06-'08s.
