Default 2020 Led Tail Light Upgrade

Hello!

I recently did the 2020 Taillight LED Conversion on my 2017 Lexus RX F- Sport. My car is equipped with the Triple beam package so it was a direct Plug and Play. I bought the Lights Pre-owned in super mint condition on eBay for $400. The sidelights were easy to install, but the challenging part was the inner lights which required removing the whole rear trim piece.

It's not origine. It's made from Taiwan, right?

No, I purchased the tail lights OEM. You have to make sure all the tabs and wiring are intact. I wIll post the link of the exact item I purchased, You have to order each piece individually.

I’m very interested in this swap, hopefully is not that expensive, I owned 2 IS before, got my RX about a year ago, it’s amazing this suv, I’m planning to keep it, the new tailights definitively looks better than the old ones.

The first pic is a regular RX, while the second pic is the 6/7-seater RX L.

There are a lot of differences. Exhaust treatment. Rear window wiper. Just to name two I saw.

This is the rear trim that had to be removed.
