[Robag]

Hi Guys

Does anyone know, is it possible to install rear lights from 2009-2012 in to 2006-2008 model?

And is it possible to install 2012 upwards headlights in to 2006-2008 model year car?

Thank you

P.S. Still looking for 2007-2009 IS 250 SE-L auto ...

I quite like these myself.

[madasahatter]

All these are on eBay loads of different ones. Loads of how to do on utube.

[Robag]

Tnx

If they legal then its good...But the front need to be HID factory...other vice MOT failure....

[madasahatter]

Fit proper ones from a later model, some body has done it .

[Robag]

U mean 2009-2012?

 

[madasahatter]

yes you could try a scrap yard, they must be some about somewhere.

[Robag]

OK. That's the easiest bit...what about headlamps washers and the wiring, will the ECU accept the upgrade, does anyone had such a job done previously?

Thanks

Just to advice - tried sourcing the rear and head lights from breakers recently and asking prices are £600+ for fronts, £350+ for rears per side (not per pair). The pre-face-lift ones are about half price £350/£150 respectively. after that I though I might look to "IS-F look" rear with white indicator (instead of yellow) which I actually prefer over the face-lifted "L-finesse" design - "IS-F like" costs around £300 a pair (Chinese LED), the originals are like £1000+.

That is obviously personal, but I found this being too expensive as cosmetic upgrade, especially for late pre-face-lift models like mine (end of 2008), where the price difference between the newer and older car would be similar to the cost of the lamps alone (not to mention there are many other differences in face-lifted model).
