Can anyone let me know what the second plug by the driver's fog light is for? I know the brown plug is for the bulb, but what is the black plug for? It plugs into some kind of sensor attached to the fog.

Hey guys, i just "installed" the OEM LED HID lights that my beautiful girlfriend got me for my birthday
But i can seem to get the LEDs to work at all... Flasher relay installed so blinkers are working fine, its just the LEDs don't come up in any position not on auto not on on not on parking lights... Nada...
Any suggestions as to what should i do to get them to work?
And also, the brackets that i've modified, seem to fit only on two holes... any idea as to where to get the brackets that fit and how much they might be?
Thank you in advance for your responses and help.

Car went into the dealer today - they noticed that the headlights were from a newer model and that I didn't wire it using a relay and opt'd for the easier parker light repin as per this thread and offered to install a relay for $400 lol :l

hey guys, i need expert advice QUICKLY! ..if thats possible. heres the deal....

2012 IS250 with these LED headlights WITH HID's....

my car, 2007 IS250 with Halogen headlights (no factory HID's)

i want to put the headlights from the 2012 on my car, and the headlights on my car, on the 2012. i know there are bulb adapters that i can fit into the 2012 bulb location to make them fit, but are the ballasts transferable to my non HID headlights? as in is there a sufficient spot to mount them on the lamp?

also, is there an adapter for the headlamp that i would be getting that has the oem HID to be able to fit my aftermarket HID bulbs into?

i know this probably wont happen but i really hope i can get some responses by tomorrow...

Where is everyone getting their sets and how much are you guys paying? Is everyone getting them from Sewell? How much from the wreckers for those that went that route? Thanks

Best deals can be had from ebay, but you have to be patient and check frequently.

Finally took a look at this thread... I did the LS430 retrofit on my GS and this DIY seems much easier than that retrofit. Guess I can start saving for these now ^_^
