Nope unfortunately the have a different connector plug.
But they maybe pin compatible so 'minor' plug re-work is all you need.

so if i just get another connector i should be able to re wire them to work ok, ????
wat i mean is if i get a new one (loom connector) for the new lights and wire them to suit the old loom, it should be ok ?

The main question is how far you willing to go? As the main issue is the wiring and/or plug/connector.
It's do-able ... so it can be done BUT require re-wiring and/or additional work since a simple swap is not gonna work.
On the newer '08 (LCI) model the halogen uses projector so it looks like Xenon but the bulb still H7 halogen.
