I dont understand how some bumpers can be "different" than other..
I do know this... I HAD to cut my bumper brackets (2007) in order for the lights to sit right.

Would the 2011-12 bumper brackets fit the older bumpers?

Seriously people !!. You will know whether you will need to cut the brackets or not as soon as you got the lights. It's an easy job if you have power tool like dremel. mplopez is right as of now most of us have to modify that brackets but ONLY ONE does NOT. @enlight: did you even read what Darrel said earlier in pg 23 ? I have a feeling that most people just go to the last page and post all kind of questions that already been answered in previous posts.

Your pic doesn't do the lights justice. They look bright white in person... But nice job!

Quick question for those that have the Sewell kit. Does your LED's only light up if you turn on your parking light/headlights or as your DRLs automatically? My highbeam is still lighting up as my DRL.

Sewell wires them to be full brightness whenever the markers are on. If you want your high beam DRL function to be off, you will have to disable it.

Yep you're exactly right. I'm a part time photographer and I could not figure out why the camera would make them appear with that yellow hue. Lexus trickery!
