Yes you can. Just buy the loaded version of the headlights. Or your going to have to but bulbs and ballasts. Along with the other stuff you normally would. I just finished my install into 2010 is250 with afs and hid but you'll be fine too.

Is sewell the only place you can get them? My car is being fixed per insurance and told the owner of the body shop to order the 2011-12 ones instead of 08s so should tell him to make sure they are loaded set
