Default 07 IS 250 conversion to 2013 headlights

For my 07 IS 250 I ordered 2013 front bumper cover, grill and fog lamps along with 2013 headlights. Will I need to do anything to have the new 2013 LED lights work as day time running lamps on my 07-Do I need to do anything to the wiring?

If you don't mind me asking, about how much did this cost you?

Back when sewell website was still open it would've been a little over $4000 with discounts. Much props to davidc2 as this is not cheap. I originally wanted to do this but my fiance said HELL NO. Since the sewell site is closed, I will try to source pieces after I get married to see if I can do it for less.

Dang bro you broke it down. For me lights will be prob one of my last alterations. I'm not a fan of drl so it would be pointless for me to spend a G's on lights. I bring up things, to the wifee, that I'd like to get and sometimes I catch hell. Lol.

yeah them damn lights are effin expensive. I troll the classifieds everyday and I always get beat out by someone else to get used ones. And I just missed the phone sale sewell had last month because they posted the announcement somewhere else so I didn't know about it. It was only 400 bucks off though. I should just focus on using that money on wheels instead lol. My stocks are boring.

Stocks! You ain't Rollin on stocks bro. And hells yes head lights are over priced. For what? Sure oem anything is bank from the dealer but these companies wanna jump on that money too. Ridiculous and Il'll keep lookin for a deal like you.

Default '07 Conversion to '13 OEM LEDs

Passenger side AFS HID went on my 07 when i put it through the touchless car wash so I had the perfect excuse to get them. I have to say the car looks so much nicer I'd say its worth it. Local Lexus dealer did it but refused to mess with the wiring to make the LEDs work as DRLs
