Yes, but it won't be a straight swap. You need Bruce Cables for the tail lights to work. For the headlights, it's much more complicated and also involves coding from your dealer. Good luck. Use the search function also. There's a ton of great info here.

well if he gets the fronts program he will need the tail lights as well programmed by the dealer

and there will be no need for bruce cables

of course most people here dont do a full lci front/rear light conversion due to cost and time

rear lights only is cheaper and quicker to do and reverse if u were to sell ur car
