Question I just purchased the wrong headlight for my car without doing prior research on lci and pre.... Will the lci headlights work and plug in the same as the pre-lci headlights? I would rather just buy another lci headlight for the other side if I can if not then I'm gonna have to trade or sell that headlight. My pre lci has xenons too which I'm not sure if it's common or not. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Plug and play, no. But can be done just more work, parts, and money.

you'll need a wiring retrofit kit, rear tail lights as well, newer light control module, and coding. in other words, you have to do a complete lci light retrofit.
