Darrel,
Really appreciate your help in getting me the $600 refund for the 2011 headlights. I made the mistake of ordering 4 days before the promotional offer (Facebook) took place and was so frustrated about it , but you went out of your way to make it right, that's some Xmas present I got, thanks so much my good man !

Can anybody answer this question please?

If I have 2007 HID headlights with AFS sensor and all that, would I be able to just buy the stripped version headlights and easily plug and play the headlights without having to splice wires? I don't have a problem transferring my bulb and ballast to the 2011 headlights. I just want to make sure that this set comes with WIRE HARNESS.

Any answers are appreciated!

Just had mine installed, it works like a charm, it's plug and play to me because the wire harness was retrofitted to work with the earlier models (mine is an 07 and is equipped with HID) so all I have to do is transfer over the ballasts to the new headlights. The only thing is these parts (I think they are brackets for the front bumper to attach to) don't fit anymore, I wonder if all the other guys who installed theirs have to do some work for them to fit or do they just leave them out.

Deathrow23,
Where do you cut yours, could you show me on that picture? I'm pretty much sure it's at the same areas, much appreciated.

my07is350: Did you get the Sewell kit? Is the led wired to 50% or 100% brightness?

Yes, I got them from Sewell. 100% brightness I believe, one click from the light stem, leds only, second click, low beam and leds.

They are absolutely gorgeous, to me anyway. The front look of my 07 IS350 changes completely with those lights on, obsedian car now with the blacked out headlights with leds and the new Philips Ultinon 6000k bulbs, couldn't beat that, surely they deck the driveway real bright!

Just from hearing it from you that is plug & play and your car is a 07, I just purchased online and luckily the $600 off is still valid.

I also have a 07......spending so much money on this car more than I ever spend upgrading my house or repairs this year. Oh well, gotta pay to play when it come to cars.

Wonder how it might look like with my Philips Ultinon 6000k bulbs.......
