Sewell has it on their website. It's $3,000+ if you need EVERYTHING. Less if you only need a few of the parts. It's explained on another thread.

if anyone can find out if NON AFS cars have all of the wiring for AFS, then I'd be willing to remove everything AFS from my car and give it to you for enough $ to cover the new headlights. AFS is a great feature but I'd way rather have the new heads.

Interesting... that video was posted by Sewell. Wonder if that car had AFS originally and if so, whether there were any error lights...

This makes me wish I still had my IS. I had the 09 mirrors and tails and I surely would have done these as well

Yes, we finally got the wiring correct to make the new Headlamps a plug and play option. Yes, the AFS light is one. There's no way (that we found) to override or fool the car's ECM to think the AFS was working correctly all the while there's absolutely no Adaptive Front Lighting System in the headlamps.

We have only completed and confirmed this with the 2009 and 2010 IS models. Next is the 2006-2008 IS, then followed by the IS-F. This maybe a few weeks away though to confirm.

The intention of this image is simply to illustrate the lamp is plugged-in with the lights on. Physical fitment is just fine.

What does this mean in terms of any AFS warning lights? Do you just turn AFS off? Is the info screen between the speedometer and tach affected?

If I buy the parts, who can I get to install these? A body shop? Lexus dealer? Do you provide installation instructions?

Thanks for all the hard work on this!

1. since there's no AFS motor in the new headlamps, you will have a light on the dash.
2. Whomever you want. The beauty of these lamps is we've made them to be a simple plug-in option. You could install them if you like.

So, just the little 'AFS Off' light in the lower left corner stays lit? The screen between the speedometer and tach, where I can see outside temp, average MPG, etc. continues to work?
