It took me about 2 hrs to install. The headlights look awsome.

This look so beautiful. Please can you share the model of rear light you are using on this car

Default Just installed 2022 conversion headlights with no errors

Purchased the set of headlights from Alibaba for $800 plus shipping. They work perfect, that said I did have to use clear silicon due to some gaps.

Conversion complete

Removal of front bumper

Passenger with new headlight and driver with old

Before the headlight conversion but with f sport style grill.

By "some gaps"......does that imply that you are a perfectionist and used silicone for a 1mm gap here and there or that the lights were materially off from OEM specs and you felt you needed to address the gap?

Based on comparing the OEM to the Alibaba headlights, the materials were off. That said, it could be the design of the headlights due to patent laws. The fitment is perfect, wiring was plug and play. Happy with the purchased.

On that note, I always use silicone for any aftermarket headlight or taillights just to be on the safe side.

the seller shipped new motors for the lights along with a video showing how how to installs the motors. It was plug and play so the fix was a non issue. Everything hooked up using the factory harness and turn signal connections.

Thanks! My crate left the Port of Miami today and I should have it next week. Have a body shop that will do the work for me - too much $$ involved for me to screw it up during install. I’ll do the 17’s update myself but the 13 will be done by the body shop. Will get pics.

Please how did you attach this small chrome, because the ones from china do not come with manufacturers mounting bracket?

Looks great sixthcolum! As far as the extra trim, i would start getting creative with 3M double sided tape and a handful of screws.

Did you purchase this front set from China? I just ordered for one from "Danyang Kailite Autoparts". I noticed that some of the sport edition from china come in separate pieces, instead of as a set. Please advice

I purchased the headlamps from China. The grille I got it from Bell Lexus in Scottdales, AZ. The Sport Design Package comes with my GX when I bought it new in 2017.

Congtats @ChrisPh The headlights look great! Any gap issues with the headlights or fits like OEM? Also how long did it take for headlights to arrive?
