Hey guys

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have done a lot of research on how to retrofit the 2011 LED lamps into my 2007 IS250 with halogens, and i need some help:

1) I installed a XenonDepot philips component HID kit; can this transfer over to the new headlights?

2) Can i reuse my dust covers/caps (as they are already drilled for HID portion) from my old to new?

3) I know I need a relay - do i get it from the dealer? or can i just buy it off ebay

4) do i need anything else other than the new style headlights? any harness or anything to make it all work? i didnt see anything but wanna make sure


Essentially ill swap my HID set up and all bulbs from my current headlights including caps/covers to the new style headlight.

Do I need to buy anything else? Missing anything? Seems you can get both sides for 1k on ebay, so not terrible

anything i should watch out for before embarking?

Thanks guys - i know the search function exists and ive read a lot but want to ensure im not missing anything

I have. 2007 Lexus is250 swapped out headlights as well for 2011's. I bought them fully loaded for a lil over 1k. See if you can find loaded set. Much easier .

Thinking about changing mine too due to moisture inside.
I have oem non- hid 2008.
If I buy a set of newer 2011 oem HID is that a easy swap.
Is there much splicing? or plug and play.
Thanks

Yes there it's pretty much plug and play except you have to relocate wires in harness. Look up the diy thread for led upgrade I followed that.

Thanks. I did a search and a few different ones came up.
