I actually like the look of the old lights better. nice job.

that's also how it would look for a 14-16 to do a diffuser swap.

TY. I feel the only thing 2017 has over the 14-16 in the looks department is the defuser and front grill. Everything else looks better on the 14-16, front headlights, front lip included. The bigger NAV screen on the 17 makes up for it though. Like anything else, can't have it all.

man didn't realize they screwed up the lights on the 17, I have a 16 but like TinoPing pointed out would love a bigger screen of the 17 model.

To each their own. I would not have purchased a pre-refreshed IS. The changes they made to the headlights (mostly) but also the taillights and obviously the interior changes are what ultimately sold me.

Good work on the tail-light swaps! First time I have seen a 17+ model with 14-16 tails.

I still personally do like the 17+ tails better because of the more aggressive L though.

As some of you guys know, I had a 2017 IS 350 that I retro-fitted with 2016 rear lights. I recently sold the car as I need to move overseas for a couple years so had to refit the original 2017 lights before the sale. Now I'm stuck with the full 2016 tails and trunk lights and harnesses which I only used for a few months. Any idea how to sell these like asap? I have only a week before I need to close shop. If anyone is interested to please PM will give you a super deal.
