Default Lexus IS 250 (2006) Mods Help Needed

Hey guys, I recently purchased a 2006 White Lexus is 250 and wanted to mod the car a bit.

So the car itself is decent, but there's a lot of great things I see people added to the car and I have a few questions.

The mods I wanted to do are:
Aftermarket Tail lights
Carbon Fiber Duck Bill Spoiler
Plasti Dip Wheels Matte Black
Replace headlights to LED
Replace the grill with the 2014+ aftermarket ones
Questions:

1. For the headlights how do I know what size LED to buy?
2. Is it easy to do add on these mods myself, or is professional labor needed?
3. Is it worth adding these mods to the car because it has approximately 130k mileage on it.

Mod away, my friend!

But I would always suggest putting money towards maintenance items before mods. And I would never count on modifications to add any value to your car, if that's what you're asking. So "is it worth it?" is only relevant to yourself. If you want to do it, go for it, but never count on recouping that money when you go to sell the car.

To get the 3IS grille, you need to do a full front end conversion. And then you'll need to replace the fogs as the 2IS fogs wont fit on the conversion.

Check out NIA's 2IS to 3IS kit.
