Good morning guys. I have a 08 IS-F and it's currently at the shop where the 2012 LED Headlights that I bought from Sewell are being attempted to being installed. Question is that my shop guy gave me a call and let me know that the bracket under the old headlights for the bumper does not mount onto the new headlights. Do I need to order a new bracket, modify the old bracket, or use only 2 screws (A rep from Sewell said the new headlights only need 2 screws to be mounted) instead of the 3? If anyone can chime in as soon as possible, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

check out post #4 (step 17 in this thread) You need to modify the bracket and you only use two of the screws.

^^^^ Wow...you guys are super helpful!

....that's a long thread with a lot of conflicting statements, with this as a future project of mine, I appreciate the clarity in preparation.

Happy to help. I just did the conversion last week. Once you get correct information it is pretty easy.

Here's some additional information that might help in the thread I started. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

Thanks - the guy that did the tutorial "Cyberscorp" is local to me here in Toronto, but appreciate the advanced information.

so did they just use 2 screws or cut the bracket I just got my lights i also have a 08 is-f and i called sewell and was told the bracket on a 2012 and 2008 are exactly the same i asked him if the part numbers were different and he said no Im doing the conversion this weekend so your info would help

 

he also said it should just bolt right up the reason it is called plug and play

 

The bracket needs to be modified though.
