First it started with the part list which was provided by a member on the forum the list also includes tips on wiring.
Second step was to track down all the parts; eBay was my main source for the lights. Be mindful that the Xeon lights move quickly on eBay and I had to for the first time get alerts sent to me when item went up for sale.
Be sure to get a set of lights with no broken side tabs the top tabs can be replace, Lexus provides a part number. I paid $250 apiece for each light.
Third comes the hard part of finding the upper grill. I used car-parts.com and located a dismantler who would sell and ship the F sport upper grille to me for the price of $250.
Fourth the bumper- I decided to use a F sport bumper I found on eBay which was painted the same color as my truck. In hindsight I would have ordered a bumper off of eBay and had it painting for 150.
Fifth the bumper tow hook cover's will have to be painted and ordered more likely from eBay or a local Lexus dealer.
FYI I ordered all the other needed parts from my local Lexus dealer via online and I didn't have to pay for shipping because I picked up the parts at the dealership.
Sixth is the hard part wiring and Soldering wires which is needed to create your highbeam headlight harness and I also created my own plug-and-play adapters for the low beam and a separate adapter for the LED daytime running lights.
I decided to make the adapters instead of re-pin my OEM connectors to the 2013 connectors.
Seventh I had to use L-shaped brackets once I remove the ballast from the bottom of the 2010 Xeon headlights and mounted them onto the side of the 2013 headlights. There was a great video on youtube on how to remove the ballast. I did this to save money and wiring. Down the line I may convert over to the 2013 ballast if I find some on eBay at a price I like.
Eighth due to the F sport bumper having four parking sensors and the 2010 only having two functional front sensors I extended the wires for the two parking sensors to be functional in the center and ordered two additional parking sensors from eBay to mount on the side as dummy sensors. I never did like the fact that the sensors were aimed towards the side not the front where we really could've use them.
Ninth due to the fact that I have autofocus headlight I had to disconnect the module or ECM under the dashboard so that I don't get the message displayed on my dash.
10th you will have to replace the two side bumper mounting bracket's because the 2010 bumper extends into the headlight range more than the 2013 bumper does. There is a great video on YouTube on removing a late model or rx 350s bumper.
I didn't order that part I decided to simply trim the 2010 bumper brackets and it worked.
Also the trim around the radiator has to be trimmed back on the 2010 because the F sport grill sits closer to the radiator.
Hello,
May I ask how you solve the problem with AFS warning lights on Dashboard? My car is from 2010 and I it was possible to fix everything except the AFS system .I am trying install the headlights with AFS from 2015 on my car from 2010 but they have quite different connections and the headlighs AFS system.
Did you solve the problem? If not, how can you disable warning signals which displayed on the instrument board/Dashboard?
I Could have turned one off by taking out the AFS fuse, but there are two warning signals left and flashing one with the exclamation mark and the other one coming up constantly and giving notice of "Check Headlight".
My car is:Lexus RX450h 2010 with the AFS system on headlights.
I would be very grateful if you had any solution to the problem.

Locate the AFS fuse, pull/remove the fuse then profit
Error codes will no longer display after, at least that was the case for us.

HI,
Can please show me how looks the autofocus headlight module or ECM under the dashboard?
That you have mentioned it in your description:
"Ninth due to the fact that I have autofocus headlight I had to disconnect the module or ECM under the dashboard so that I don't get the message displayed on my dash."
or if know what is the PART NUMBER!?
HI Thanks,
I don't understand. please explain what do you mean? delete the error code with the OBD2 diagnostic device or what do you mean with the "profit
Error codes" ?
I have already remove the AFS fuse. AFS light is gone but two other are flashing right now. one with the exclamation mark and the other one coming up constantly and giving notice of "Check Headlight" on dashboard
ard.
Man, all of these conversions with getting rid of the '10-'12 Bi-Xenon projector, it's a shame because it is such a good projector when tuned properly.
Had been considering doing this, ended up buying an F-Sport instead. I knew I'd not get AFS, but was disappointed when I learned I would also not be getting a bi-xenon setup.
