Default 2013 LED Headlights Installed!

Hello fellow CL members. I picked up my 2008 ISF about 2 months ago and knew the first thing I wanted to do was replace the halogen headlights with the updated LED headlights. Finally got around to it and installed this yesterday. Bought it used and the rewiring was already done from the previous owner. Changed my low beams to 6k, changed out the turn signals to LED amber, and replaced the foglight bulbs with LEDs as well. I am very happy with the outcome and cannot wait to add more to the car.

Thanks! Here is a quick snap I took of the singals, look a lot better in person. The amber is so much sharper/bolder.

Nice! I feel like the amber works really well with the paint color too. Looks professional!

Of course! If I may ask, how much did this all cost and how much time did it take to install?

I picked it up in person but I'm sure this was the one.

I am getting a hyperblink so I may need to get some additional wiring

You don't need any additional wiring, all you need is a flasher relay, I got mine on amazon for $12.

OEM LED Headlights are pricey but very worth it - usually around $1000 USD for a new headlight

I installed mine in a few hours at a leisurely pace

Pre-LED headlights were never halogen on the IS-F unless the previous owner sold the HID headlights and replaced them with some IS250 headlights or something.
