2008 ISF Headlight Question

Hi Guys,

I did try searching for some answers, but couldn't find anything?

Basically I want to black out the insides of my OEM Xenon ISF headlights, but want to know my options if something goes wrong!

Do all IS models share the same headlights, or are the ISF lights unique?

I'd also like to know if US spec lights will work on my UK spec car?

With only just over 200 examples in the Country, finding secondhand parts is practically impossible!

Buying new ones from the stealer will be mega pricey!

Any help is greatly appreciated guys!

Happy 2015 by the way.

Cheers.

Peter

The ISF headlights are the same as the 2IS. I'm not sure if the US spec is compatible, you might be able to use it. However, being that you're in the UK, the projector cutoff step is reversed.

You will need to find a right hand drive set if you want the cutoff to be proper for UK roads. Other than that, all ISx headlights are the same. ISF uses differnt plastic brackets they bolts onto the bottom of the headlights for our F bumper

Thanks for the responses guys.

Think I'm going to struggle with finding anyone willing to tackle splitting my headlights.

Based on what you guys have said, I am also slightly concerned with attempting something like this with the lack of secondhand units available.

Guess I'll just park it for now, and focus on the other things I have planned instead!
