Headlight swap
Hi all! New here and about to get my brand spankin' new 2012 IS250 today!
I opted to go for the package without the nav (after much deliberation), and the only thing I'm really bummed to miss out on is the LED headlights. The dealer told me I can add them in after market so I did some searching around. So far I've only found headlamps to upgrade a 2010 or older to the 2012 look. There have to be some out there to upgrade a 2012 that doesn't have them. Does anyone have experience with this/know where to find the headlamps? I read the great DIY thread posted here the other day (I think it was the other day) but the parts it linked to specified 2010 or older.
Bonus if anyone is in CA and has recommendations for a place to get it done.
Thanks! I can't wait to be driving my new IS...

And if you have 2012, installation would be easier coz you do not have to cut the headlight brackets to fit the new LED headlight, 2012 version of brackets should be direct bot on.

They said it will take 1 month and might void my warranty. I said no issues and told them to fit just the 2012 OEM lights somehow Still fingers crossed.
Need to call and talk to them tomorrow. If they say no, I will just ask them to give me the 2012 OEM lights and I will sit in their garage and do the wiring and bracket modifications myself .
