So after doing some research one of my headlights did not come with the harness and the 3pin plug needed for the LED feature in the headlights. Does anyone know where I can find one asap? or have a part number for one? I have attached pictures for reference.
I am also in the process of swaping my lens for STi-R





Here are a couple pictures of the insides

Nice! Keep us updated on the retrofit . I retrofitted S2K AP2 projectors into my 2010 4Runner and the light output and cutoff are so much better then the stock IS projectors. I would like to retrofit a pair of S2K's into my 2012 LED's some day but a little leary opening these up since they are so expensive.

The harness and cover you need has been discussed before, check here.... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...need-help.html

Thank you for the quick response, I planned on installing these tomorrow night so I was in a panic when I received mine today with that part missing. I bought both my headlights used with tab repairs and it was under 1k so I think I made out well

I am not doing a retrofit in these, The output looks good enough for me I just like a clean cutoff not really into color modding. Ill can compare them to my MH1 retro in my sierra when these are completed.

Thanks again

Oh OK ... Doh! I just reread that your just changing the lenses. You should do the 100-50% mod to them while you have them out. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...0-circuit.html.
I ended up taking mine back out a day after I put them in to do it as the 2012 LEDs are so bright at 100% that they overpower the HID's IMO. I think they look much better the way they come from the factory powering down to 50% when the HIDs are on.

I can tell you right now that even with the better STIR projector lense it will only improve slightly as the stock projector housing on the IS suck. I personaly retrofited TSX projectors with STIR lenses and love it.

Well here is a quick output with the lens spaced out a bit. I think this is acceptable enough, not a huge amount of color but I personally think these look better then the 2015 is250 led projectors loaner car I am driving right now.
I have had so many retrofitted cars and cars that came with projectors such as an AP1 S2k and I did not find them to be anything special. I like the output of a FXR and MH1 6.0 The most.

Don't mind the messy basement.

Also running the Morimoto XB35 D4S bulbs at 4300k

all done with the swap. I ended up putting the green wire in the recommended spot. However I did have to tap the red wire ( led ground) into the park light ground ( white wire black stripe ) Over all I am very happy with the outcome, I got these for less then 1k and was able to swap the lens and use the morimoto xb d4s bulbs to give it that oem look. Well worth the cash,

Nice output is all you did space out the lens? Or you got the new str lens with spacer?

Thanks, I replaced the lens with the STi-R and spaced it out with 3 rings. Headlights are almost perfectly adjusted when I put them in but they could use a few turns, I will have to post up pictures of night output photos.
