Hi everyone, i did a search but nothing come up regarding the question im about to ask. So i want to upgrade my 08 headlights to the 2011 LED ones. My question is can i use my old bulbs and ballast in the new light housing? Or i would have to purchase a complete set? Thanks

 

Yes you can transfer everything from your 08 housings to the new ones.

 

.......except dust covers (which become round), city lights disappear and you have to cut your bumper brackets. Dual turn signal bulbs also change to a single bulb.

Thanks guys for the help. Although im not exactly understand what digger08 meant by "city lights disappear" but overall...i think i got my answer. Thanks again

 

Its really easy to do. I cut out my ballasts from my old headlights and soldered them together. If you're handy with a dremel then you can use the old brackets. Also, the flasher relay is different because the new ones only use one turn signal. Lastly, you will have a flashing afs light on your panel. The cluster can be removed in 5 minutes and I put a piece of black tape over the light after I removed the gauge clusters cover. PM me if you have any questions. I've done this 3 times already.

 

Thank you jjpb5, i'll keep you in mind

 

Sorry......Its not a big deal and I used the wrong terminology....... there's a small "position" peanut or LED/ parking bulb in your housing beside the HID bulbs...it is no longer used in the new headlights as the LED strip takes over for it.
