2012 LED Headlights Installation Help
I have been reading all of these LED light conversion threads for months. I'm still confused!
Here is two pictures of a factory plug harness from a Sewell "Stripped" version of there 2012 MY lights.
Can "fasttexasz" describe exactly what moves where?..and splices with what for the 100% power to the LED's - for absolute clarity?

If the lights are from Sewell they are already wired and plug and play. The only thing people change on the Sewell lights is if they want 100% brightness for the LED instead of 50/100. If you buy lights off of a 2011-2013 IS then they have to be wired to get power to the LED strip.

lights look great man.
as far as 100 brightness during the night. i have been pulled over for them. cop told me they are aftermarket. i said they are oem headlights and after he saw the DOT print on the light, he looked reallly puzzled and told me maybe it was the angle when i pulled out that made it look brighter, lol. i do get flashed a couple of times depending if i hit a dip where it makes my lights look even brighter but they do look great at night.

Thanks My dude, about the 100% brightness they are quite bright and am bit worried about getting pulled over for this. lets see how it goes...
i noticed that after i swapped out my factory HID kit to these lights, the left side hid is spreading big time really bad & its annoying. can this be fixed by adjusting the projector?
Here's a day time shot of them @ 100% brightness. They are really bright and loving them 
I need to disable my DRL's might hit the dealer this weekend. i have LED bulbs in there...

my lexus dealer wanted 60 dollars for the DRL service. i went to toyota, hooked up techstream. took less than 5 min and they did it for free. thanks Lexus for trying to rip me off.
Looks really nice with the upgraded headlights and cf hood!!!! wonder why you're disabling your DRL... Isn't the LED strip supposed to be on in day time??? my bad for the noobie question lol
ok being noob so imma just ask as i searched and it just get more confusing
So if i got the lights from sewell they just plug and play. and the only time the LEDs are on is when you have your parking lights or headlights on, correct?

Off is Off
One click and they are ON
Two clicks and they are ON with Headlights
You would want to get your DRL's turned off by the dealership if you haven't done so already..
