^ Go back to OEM or upgrade to 2011+ if you want the LED strip. Those are tacky and not fit for such a nice vehicle

I get what you're sayin Jman but I have to admit Tpearls headlights looks better than most members that took the cheap route and went with LED strips. I think so bc bc those LEDs look bigger than most that use those ebay $2 strips and it would've probably looked better without the halos. That was just overkill and made it kinda ricey. But props for being diff Tpearl. Sewell actually has sales every now and then for 1200 on a stripped set. Members too part out and sell them too for a decent price. Keep your eye out in the classifieds section.

How much were they, just curious since you said not cheap? I got my barely used 2013 headlights for $900 shipped and have seen several sets for sale around $1k. Brand new from Sewell they are $1400 with the discount code.

I had a guy do them for about 800. Led strips alone were 400. I had him paint the inside too. He had done quite a few like that and people who had them said they liked them so I went for it. I'm not regretting because I tried something different and didn't do it the cheap way. Yeah it may be too much for some people but I think it looks great and unique. I'm sorry I didn't want to buy overpriced Lexus headlights.

To be honest, this actually doesn't look bad compared to all the other aftermarket LED's i've seen ppl done on there ISx50.. But i would've still went with OEM led's..
