Default HELP! 2012 LED Headlights Bracket Question

Good morning guys. I have a 08 IS-F and it's currently at the shop where the 2012 LED Headlights that I bought from Sewell are being attempted to being installed. Question is that my shop guy gave me a call and let me know that the bracket under the old headlights for the bumper does not mount onto the new headlights. Do I need to order a new bracket, modify the old bracket, or use only 2 screws (A rep from Sewell said the new headlights only need 2 screws to be mounted) instead of the 3? If anyone can chime in as soon as possible, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

check out post #4 (step 17 in this thread) You need to modify the bracket and you only use two of the screws.

....that's a long thread with a lot of conflicting statements, with this as a future project of mine, I appreciate the clarity in preparation.

Happy to help. I just did the conversion last week. Once you get correct information it is pretty easy.

Here's some additional information that might help in the thread I started. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
