2IS = 2nd Generation IS (the IS250/IS350 in the US). MY = model year.

He's spending $1,200 on the new LED headlight assembly that come stock starting in MY 2011. http://is.sewellparts.com/parts-catalog/IS350-2011.html

I thought the LED DRLs are only standard on the models equipped with HIDs/AFS? Or do they come with the standard halogens too?

brociouz

^ Ah yes, I think that's correct. I haven't seen a 2011 2IS in the US with halogens yet though.

The persons who'd buy an MY2011 IS not equipped with these updated headlamps would be making an unforgivable mistake! Treachery!

I'd also like to say that I drove past a MY11 IS and the passenger-side LED strip was blown; driver's side lit up fine. Shoulda did a 180 and chase the poor fellow down to let him know of the fail. Moral of the story for you MY11ers, check to make sure your LED strips are lighting or you'd look like a douche with one working strip.

You assume wrong -- all IS brake lights from 2006+ are LED. Search uncovered a thread discussing this from when the 2IS was first introduced: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...ke-lights.html Unfortunately the large LEDs in the older tail lamp cluster don't have that "LED look" the way the small ones do.

^ You can upgrade to these for ~$200ish if you're into that small LED look.

cool, have you seen these on anyones car? they aren't exact replicas are they?

brociouz

iTrader: (65)

Yes, I've seen them on several cars and they look great. They are essentially aftermarket replicas of the IS-F taillights with small LEDs used to get different look.

I know of one person that had trouble getting them installed though. Seems to be plug and play for most though.

Hey guys, I'm new here. Can anybody tell me, what's the difference between the old '06, '09-'10 and '11 taillights? Pics maybe? Thanks!
