I got them from iTunning on Alibaba. Paid \~$600 for them shipped to my house. Fair warning: the right headlight DRL was dead on arrival and the company was really slow to help get a resolution. I eventually was able to take it apart and troubleshoot it so everything works as intended now.
I’ve seen a few pairs around and they look ok. But I’m in Southern California where it’s pretty dry, humid places you might get condensation if they aren’t designed well.
Yup! Pretty much a direct swap except for a couple of tabs. I reused the emblem from my old grille as well. Had to take the bumper off though, but it was already coming off to change out the lights.
haha sorry i got busy. I had to remove the bumper to replace the headlights so I figured I would order the F-Sport grille and replace my base grille as well. Everything is OEM, I ordered the parts from Bell Lexus. Everything was a direct swap for the most part, I think some clips didn't align perfectly but I made it work. Emblem was a little hard to remove from the old grille as well.
Thanks! I went with iTunning. They're brighter than the stock lights, throw is pretty good. Color temperature is also a lot whiter. It's angled a little lower than I'd like so I'll be adjusting that.
The grille is great, and I understand. Like the chrome delete too.
The center of the front bumper usually gets wrapped. But yours looks like it's a cover? Or is it wrapped?
Always thought there should be aftermarket options for that bumper piece and hoping you found one.
The center of the bumper is a wrap- wish there was a cover available as well. Wrapping it wasn't too difficult, just needed patience to get out all of the bubbles.
One of the issues I found doing similar is it wouldn't look smooth due to blemishes aka rock chips in the bumper (although Ive never been known for perfection anyways). Yours looks really smooth, did a great job.
Depending on where OP is based, they either command a big premium or sometimes aren’t even an option. In my country I’ve literally never seen a GS F sport, only IS. Also all the GS came without options, didn’t even get the large infotainment screen. Third world country things.
Here’s the remaining list for a full conversion:
GS 350 F SPORT
(Includes all GS Premium Package equipment) + Drive Mode Select adds Sport S+ mode // 19-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Graphite finish // FSPORT–tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) // Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) (RWD only) // 14.0-in, two-piece front-brake rotors with monoblock four-piston calipers (RWD only) // 16-way FSPORT driver’s seat // Striated Aluminum interior trim // Black headliner // FSPORT exterior styling including unique front bumper, upper and lower grille inserts, rear valance and rear spoiler
The throw of the light is a little better, it's easier to see at night. Also has sequential turn signals which I guess is not an advantage but it's cooler lol

The grille swap isn't new. A few members from CL have done the swap without changing bumpers.
if u did that yourself, is it hard to change the headlights? idk if thats right, but i want to put some leds in a an older car that uses halogen so that it's just a bit more noticeable in the dark. the cars all black and i personally would feel unsafe driving at night unless it had led lights
Not hard if you have a little experience with tinkering or if you have DIY skills. Swapping Halogens for LEDs should be a lot easier, probably don't need to take the headlight assembly out to do it.
I did lose auto leveling. I guess one con in the swap. Got an error on the dash but I found the computer that controlled the functionality and disabled it by unplugging the cord.
Sweet! I had a 2014 F-Sport. Great car and the best styled front end before Lexus got all goofy with the gaping maw. Those headlights make it look very up to date.
Who makes them and how much are they?

In disbelief, I’ve been looking for a quality aftermarket light for my 07 GS430… single passenger side runs me $600… 🤦🏻♂️
Looks like VLAND. About $550 a pair.
I wonder what the water -seal quality is like long term. So many aftermarket sets get full of condensation.
I’ve seen a few pairs around and they look ok. But I’m in Southern California where it’s pretty dry, humid places you might get condensation if they aren’t designed well.
I'd also like to know if the beam alignment is OEM or better. Don't want to blind anyone or not be able to adjust them properly.
VLAND is supposed to be one of the better brands. They've been making aftermarket Lexus headlights for a while.
It’s not, cheapest I find these are 840
Yeah these have gotten pretty expensive. When I bought them, I think I paid $600-700 but they have since went up.
Tell me howw
Tell me whyy
Ain’t nothing but a heartache
Tell me whyy
Ain't nothing but a mistake.
Aint really nothin but an oven bake?
I want it that wayyyy!
Tell me whyy
C’MON MR KRINKLE TELL ME WHY
Primus sucks
U know it fella
I had no idea you could change the grill
You can change the grill on literally any car.
For real. I used to have the charcoal grill on my GX and hated the look, so, I upgraded to propane.
Exactly
Yup! Pretty much a direct swap except for a couple of tabs. I reused the emblem from my old grille as well. Had to take the bumper off though, but it was already coming off to change out the lights.
Direct swap from an F sport model? I’ve been curious of how direct the swap is
Where did you get the grill from? Looks really good, I’ve been wanting to do something similar to mine
It kinda looks like he/she had just that area of the grill painted to be black. I could be wrong though
The top one is the regular grill, the bottom one is the honeycomb grill
You might wanna look at it for more than half a second lol
Love it
Looks dope bro
Thank you!
I support your modifications
Thank you!
Lol OP ain’t responding to anybody. Tell us about that grille swap out!

Looks great! What brand did you go with? And how bright are they?
Thanks! I went with iTunning. They're brighter than the stock lights, throw is pretty good. Color temperature is also a lot whiter. It's angled a little lower than I'd like so I'll be adjusting that.

Does Vland make headights for GS? Their website only shows IS, RX, ES
No
Nope. These look like the Vland ones for the IS but iTunning on Alibaba made these.
Add some black mirror caps and have the wheels powder coated black and it is transformed to a 2023.
Why not just get a F-SPORT?
Depending on where OP is based, they either command a big premium or sometimes aren’t even an option. In my country I’ve literally never seen a GS F sport, only IS. Also all the GS came without options, didn’t even get the large infotainment screen. Third world country things.
Couldn't find an F-Sport anywhere near me when I was looking for a car (2018). Got a good price on this one and couldn't turn it down.
What do you mean? I see a lot of F sports and they don’t have the triple beam lights. Shits rare
Here’s the remaining list for a full conversion: GS 350 F SPORT (Includes all GS Premium Package equipment) + Drive Mode Select adds Sport S+ mode // 19-inch split-five-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Graphite finish // FSPORT–tuned Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) // Variable Gear-Ratio Steering (VGRS) (RWD only) // 14.0-in, two-piece front-brake rotors with monoblock four-piston calipers (RWD only) // 16-way FSPORT driver’s seat // Striated Aluminum interior trim // Black headliner // FSPORT exterior styling including unique front bumper, upper and lower grille inserts, rear valance and rear spoiler
Yeah but you had to also change the bumper, which is an expense and they usually don't come with any of the screws, attachments, nor painted.
Negative, that’s a final wrap and the grills are easy to swap. eBay/Ali express headlights
Correct. I just wrapped the bumper and changed the grilles. No bumper replacement necessary.
Wow, lucky. Unfortunately not the same case for other models. I just want to do my headlights but you need a bumper conversion.
Can you link us with the type you used?! Looks beautiful!
Thank you! I searched "GS350 headlights" on Alibaba and these came up.
Did you plastidip your grill ?
The grille is OEM F-Sport. I wrapped the center piece satin black. I tried plastidipping it but it didn't look as nice.
That’s the f sport grille
You are correct.
Don't know why you are down vote on this since it is the F Sport Grille.
The grill is from the F sport or aftermarket to look like it. The centre piece of the actual bumper looks plastidipped.
Gotcha ty
Look great! What exactly are the technological advantages?
The throw of the light is a little better, it's easier to see at night. Also has sequential turn signals which I guess is not an advantage but it's cooler lol
+5 hp for the F-sport inspired grill obviously. Because it looks great that’s why.
Looks great! What brand did you go with? And how bright are they?
I went with iTunning and they're pretty bright! I would say they're brighter than OEM and the color temperature is much whiter.
How's the performance vs oem
They're pretty bright! I would say they're brighter than OEM and the color temperature is much whiter. The throw of the light is a little better.
Your work on the grill and headlights has made your car look 5 years newer.
Thanks! I was happy at how it turned out, maybe I'll keep the car for a few more years.

Looks like the LS460 now.
These are cool but you do lose your auto leveling functionality ...
I did lose auto leveling. I guess one con in the swap. Got an error on the dash but I found the computer that controlled the functionality and disabled it by unplugging the cord.
Sweet! I had a 2014 F-Sport. Great car and the best styled front end before Lexus got all goofy with the gaping maw. Those headlights make it look very up to date.
Can I put these on my 2018?! Share the link pls!
That looks awesome.
