Default Anyone tried 2011 headlights in a pre 2008?

I looked for a thread for this but came out short,

I was wondering if anyone has tried retrofitting the newest headlights (the one's with the LEDs on the bottom) to their IS that doesn't have them, and if you have done the retrofit, what is needed? (cables, wiring, coding?)

I'm in the process of updating the lights on my M5 and was wondering if this was possible on the 2IS as well.

thank you for your responses! (if any)

I would say yes because Sewell Lexus is selling this as a conversion. To be extra sure contact CL member Sewell .
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...S250-2007.html

While the link is for 2007 its also available for 08,09 and 2010.
Register with them and during the registration process enter your CL user and you will get an additional and rather substantial discount.

There is a thread recently made where a forum member posted exactly what you're asking for. I'll try and find it and post back in here for you.

I've successfully retrofitted them. I explain everything that's needed in the thread. Page 4 has a pic of the wiring:
