Default IS 250 RHD headers

Hi folks! I'm looking to buy a pair of headers for my 06 IS 250. Problem is I live in the UK and can only seem to find them for sale in the US. Does anyone know if these will also fit a RHD model? If it helps, the headers I'm looking to buy are short tube. Look forward to your replies!

Because the steering column and linkage are designed around the headers, I'm afraid that the LHD headers won't work on your RHD 2IS.

But perhaps there are RHD header options out there that I've just not read of before?

I figured so, I have since ordered some shortys anyway, they'll be coming from the states but the shop I bought them from weren't too sure them selves if these would be compatible but these were very cheap so figured they're worth a shot! Fingers crossed I can do some slight 'modifications' to them to make them fit I have seen a fair few from RR Racing and PPE who say theirs would be compatible for both LHD & RHD but they are long tubes as about x4's the cost of these... Thanks again for your help, really appreciated, wish me luck!

Do you have a link to the set you purchased? Curious which set you are getting.

I know right! Fingers crossed they are compatible and the installation goes well! I'm not aware of any other UK IS 250 having headers so this could possibly be a first 😁

What happened with your eBay headers? Did they work out?

Still not got around to trying these. The garage I normally go to is currently closed so will have to wait until he reopens. Again not 100% sure if these will even go on a RHD model but giving it a shot
