2011 ISx50 HEADLIGHTS VS 2012 ISx50 HEADLIGHTS - Differences Exposed
#16
VERY NICE!!! Thanks for the comparison pics! Loving the 2012s. Can't wait to get these bad boys on mine.
I just called my dealer because I had the 3M done through them and since there's a TSIB for the headlights, wasn't sure if they will apply the 3M on the new headlights at no charge? -Service Manager didn't know bout the TSIB but said if it exists, they'll replace at no charge. Woohoo!

Thank you for showing the photos! Very slight differences IMO but I'm sure it looks better in person.
Nice! It makes sense that they would since the 3M was done at the dealership. Unfortunately for me, the 3M on my car was done elsewhere so I probably have to pay for the headlights 3M again if my car does qualify for the TSB.

When are you guys heading out? Shoot me a txt. Im off at 6
I am not sure if the projector was in fact changed in the 2012 headlights. Output seems to be the same.

Very nice little write up Josh. I can attest to the difference between the two as I see them almost everyday. Small change but big difference IMO
Were leaving Dublin around 5:20 or so

Great write up Josh.
Glad i got 5k bulbs. They'll match my 2011 model year headlights. I was going to trade em in for the 2012's but I'll keep em now that they're officially known as being 5k in color

So Josh, Jared (Hoovey2411), I, and a handful of other CL members stared at these new TSIB LED DRL lights for a good 10 minutes last night. We've come to the conclusion that it's probably around 5500K in color. Josh has 6000K lows and fogs and at quick glance they match the LED DRL strip, but when you really look closely you'll see that the strip is still slightly warmer than 6000K. But again, it's a big improvement over the 4500Kish older style LED DRL strip. I'd say if you want it to match perfectly get 5500K lows and fogs.

I never seen a '11 and '12 side by side but i have noticed the difference when driving around and seeing other 2IS on the road, some cars LED were like ugly yellow yet others were like... LED. I thought it was 'luck of the draw' until now, thx Josh.

I was not a believer until right now LOL. Never really went to check out the lights with my headlights on. and yup the LED strip with the headlights on are a lot whiter than the old LED strip. The led strip seems a lot more crisp compared to the 2011's.
maybe its all in my head haha but its for sure whiter!
