halogen to LED headlamp swap
Greetings. I'm in the process of swapping my halogen headlamps on my 2013 to the OEM LED option.
I purchased some used ones from reputable ebay sellers. One didn't come with the ballast, so I found one model number 85967-47020. The other already has a ballast, but it is much different, 85967-30070. Is there going to be an issue running these two?
I believe there has to be a harness made or fabricated to make the proper connections. I found an older thread from a user who developed one, but since I'm new to the forum I can't message yet.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

You would've been better off using Bi-xenon from the RX350 rather than 1st-generation LED tech. Also when one of those units go out, they're pricey and can be hard to find. But it's fine since you already got them. As far as how to adapt the wiring, i'm sure you can wire 12V to the control module (i've done it on another lexus w/ LED and ballasts) but it'll be a custom job. You can source 9006 male/female connectors (they're like super cheap on ebay) and make it a near-oem level job. assuming there's not much more to it than that (i haven't seen this particular setup so i'm not sure)
