1) When you Order (LED Headlamp Retro-Kit ) from Sewell; The "Relay Flasher" should be included in the package.

I recently met with an accident and my front bumpers and headlight's needed to be replaced. My car is fully insured and is a 2010 model car. Now the issue is my dealership says that they can fix the 2012 headlights in my car with all the required connectors etc. But they also insist that the front bumpers , liners , fenders (along with a lot of other things in front) all need to be replaced into the 2012 model.
Now the thing is my Insurance will pay for all the equivalent 2010 OEM parts and I would have to pay only the difference in costs for the 2012 OEM parts. Sad thing is the difference in cost for all those 2012 OEM parts which would fit in the front would set me back by around 6,000 $ according to my dealership.
I just want to know if my dealership is asking me to change everything along with the 2012 headlights just to discourage me from fitting it or is it really necessary to replace the whole front with all the 2012 OEM parts ?
If i only had to change to 2012 OEM headlights , the difference in cost for me would be just 600 $ which I would gladly accept.
Please advice. Thanks.

Are you going to fit the 2012 OEM lights or the 2012 Sewell lights ? According to my dealership they say the 2012 OEM lights are different or slightly bigger and would not fit pre 2011 IS's unless we change the bumpers , grills , liners etc all to 2012.
