Default LEDs

So I'm gonna need some new headlights, have they solved the bubbling problem in the LEDs yet?

Lexus solved it with 2014 headlights :p

Seriously, 2012 still have the issue, not sure about 2013 -- I assume it has the same bubble issue.

saw on the forum somewhere that somebody move the projector further up and that help with the bubble because the light from the projector is hitting the bottom of the light.

Are there any fitment issues when trying to hook up the 2013's to a 2009? Electrically or mechanically? Also, are there two different lights? Leds/ hids or are they one in the same?

The bubbling isn't really a big deal, you can barely see it (with my set) and it doesn't affect the light output of the low beams or LEDs.

Almost plug in play, small mods are needed. There's a DIY on here showing you what to do...

AFS light flashes if you have HID's already. Plug N' Play if you want to make the LED's come on instead of parkers - you have to do some wiring if you want it to work like proper 2011 DRL's.
