Exclamation Headlights Need Help

Whats up all ! ,
So I have a 2013 lexus is250 RWD stock as hell, pretty much a baby lol. I want to start doing some work on my car and my first concern is that Im wondering if I can change the headlights on my car to the LED. I currently have these regular ones which I believe are halogen, but the LED ones look much better to me. If I can change them what exactly do I have to do?

It's basically a plug and play thing. Here is a good video.


There should be some posts around here about picking a 5k or 6k light.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he's talking about putting LED bulbs in his existing housings; I think he wants to replace the entire housing to the premium OEM headlights with the LED DRL strip and the HID bulbs.

Yeah Bichon hit it right on the money lol. This is a google pic, mines look like these currently and I want to completely replace the housing to the ones with a led strip at the bottom of it. I just don't know if I'm able to swap mine and put the other ones on with no problem.

Thanks! Yeah, I get that but I think that is for the 2006-2010 models. I have a 2012, do I have to do the same procedure as with the older models or is it a direct plug and play being mine is a newer model? I know that for my year the led DRL was an luxury option that my car didn't come with.

They look great. I just don't like the way they look in contrast to the OEM ones. I want to get the OEM ones but I want to know if my car being a 2012, do I have to make any modifications? I noticed that most of the DIY instructions that I found are for the 2006-2010 years.
