Projector HID headlights for 2012

I would like to replace my 2012 Yaris headlights with HID projector headlights. Will the older models interchange like 2007-2011 fit on my 2012?

06-08 model years are the same

09-11 model years are the same

12+ are different than the rest....substantially

if you send me your headlights ill retrofit them for you...

I know this is a pretty old thread but I'm also looking for projectors for the new shape yaris. The 2012 SR model. And if it makes a difference, it's the UK shape hatchback. Does anyone know if these are available anywhere? Trying to avoid dismantling the headlight itself to retrofit projectors.

Thanks for the reply Scubaru Steve. I had noticed the HSD lights. I've spoken to my local Toyota dealer and they're unsure if they can just directly replace my headlamps whole. If I could somehow just get hold of the projectors I could fit them directly in as the housing of the light looks similar if not the same as my shape Yaris.

Best chance for you is to search for some Japanese import supplier. Dnt think ebay or amazon have it

I've been looking high and low for these headlights, also. No luck yet, but ive been checking scrap yards just about everywhere I can (japan and europe, mostly). Usually the best bet for something like this will be yards that get new cars from accidents. Try googling in different countries :)

I saw some on Ebay. the 2015 SE model hasn't some nice projectors as well.

will you be swapping the bumpers as well for proper fitment ?

thanks

If I could find the bumper in good enough shape along with headlights, I'd love to do a full swap. But probably just the headlights, for now.

No, I was referring to the bumper on the yaris in the picture. Just the headlights will work.

2015 Yaris SE projector headlights

Hey people of YW, I stumbled upon this thread and thought I could provide some pictures of the projector headlights found in the new yaris' in the US since I find it quite hard to find anything about this new car.
