13-10-2018, 12:06 AM #1Hi all, i've been looking at buying some projector headlights form USA, these are for the is300, however spoke to the guy over there and he said a very small amount needs trimming off the top of the lights to make them fit the is200. Has anyone fitted these or is300 lights to the 200? Cheers

13-10-2018, 01:06 AM #2i have heard the fittings are slightly different, Ormi was looking into doing the same sort of project using is300 lights so he may have some info on how to install them, but also remember the light scatter will be wrong as they drive on the wrong side of the road so the light will shine in the wrong direction and will fail MOT if you do not correct the angle of light.

And this is what you have to cut to be able to fit an IS300 headlight to an IS200 without factory xenon headlights.

you can buy a projector kit that fits straight in to the headlight(you do need to split the lights though)
