It should be installed in any car that didn't originally come with the LED headlights.

With or without AFS.

Although I don't have the 2012 headlights, this write-up is superb. I have not seen such a perfect write-up in a while. Good job!

Wow!!! Perfect! And bookmarked!
This for sure makes me want to bug sewell for that discount they had couple months back to bring it back!
So loaded pack no wires needed!?

great DIY, i was wondering how to do it also. Is it possible to install OEM HID on a halogen model?

"Loaded" Set is Plug n' Play. The only customization you will do is the Bracket portion.

Can you post a direct link to the exact flasher needed for an 2006 IS350?

How many hours did it take for you to finish the installation?

My 06 IS350 didn't come with AFS so I won't have to worry about any annoying warning or errors correct?


Great write up by the way!

Car looks good without the bumper and grill on.

1) When you Order (LED Headlamp Retro-Kit ) from Sewell; The "Relay Flasher" should be included in the package.

2) It took me more than 3 hours (due to picture taking). However, this diy can be done in 2 or less . . .

3) No Blinking "AFS"

Hi Cyberscorp , Is it possible to use your DIY to install 2012 OEM headlights onto pre 2011 model IS ( 2010 and before models ) with stock front bumpers ? Or do we have to fix even the 2012 bumpers.

I recently met with an accident and my front bumpers and headlight's needed to be replaced. My car is fully insured and is a 2010 model car. Now the issue is my dealership says that they can fix the 2012 headlights in my car with all the required connectors etc. But they also insist that the front bumpers , liners , fenders (along with a lot of other things in front) all need to be replaced into the 2012 model.

Now the thing is my Insurance will pay for all the equivalent 2010 OEM parts and I would have to pay only the difference in costs for the 2012 OEM parts. Sad thing is the difference in cost for all those 2012 OEM parts which would fit in the front would set me back by around 6,000 $ according to my dealership.

I just want to know if my dealership is asking me to change everything along with the 2012 headlights just to discourage me from fitting it or is it really necessary to replace the whole front with all the 2012 OEM parts ?

If i only had to change to 2012 OEM headlights , the difference in cost for me would be just 600 $ which I would gladly accept.

Please advice. Thanks.

Are you going to fit the 2012 OEM lights or the 2012 Sewell lights ? According to my dealership they say the 2012 OEM lights are different or slightly bigger and would not fit pre 2011 IS's unless we change the bumpers , grills , liners etc all to 2012.
