Exclamation 2012 IS250 Headlight

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I was wondering if it is possible to put the OEM headlight and taillight from the 2012 model on the 2007 model. I didnt want to do any aftermarket lights because they dont look as good as the OEM ones. If it's possible, how much would them cost for headlight and taillight with a separate price quote? Any reputable shop in Toronto, Ontario, Canada can do this kind of mods?

Swell has the headlights for 1800. If you wanted is-f tails I believe they are 400.

I believe they ship to Canada, just an FYI you will have warning lights on the dash after install, and they cannot be turned off.

it's going to cost me about 2-3k to change the headlights and taillights. I wonder if i should just trade in my car for a newer one, lol

since your car is a 2007 you would only need to change out the outer tail lights and it's easy. I did it to my 2007, feel free to PM me with any questions. I'm in the process of upgrading my headlights.
