    They would fit, but please don't fit them!

    Some all-red lights from the facelift polo would fit and wouldn't look rubbish.

    Lexus lights are from 15 years ago, also they still make you look like a knack.

    They wouldn't be a 100% straight swap as you'll need to hack the bulb holders and cut a little bit of the light casing at the bottom off. Not a major job but on the brittle plastic on Lexus lights you might break the casing.

    Emphatically yes!

    Or buy the facelift red ones and hack them.
