Is250 Facelift dates

Hi
I have Is250 08' before the Facelift and im looking to replace the Headlight to the newer, after the facelift.
so just to clearify:

1. when was all the is250 facelift? 2009 and 2012? (2006-2008, 2009-2012)
2. does the headlight of the 2009-2010 will fit to my model 08' (with the mount, bumber shape and all?)? or its a different shape?

Are you talking about the updated headlights with LED strip?

The LED strip headlights started in 2011, but it was an option. The old style headlights could still be obtained from 11+ if you had the halogen option. HID option got the LED strip.

Yes...but you will need a relay to prevent hyperflash and to do some pinning work if you want the led to stay on at all times
