Default accident ... blessing in disguise...

So, I accidentally hit this guy in front of me due to following too close. Anyhow, it was my fault so i got a ticket for it.
Turned my car into the shop, the shop accidentally ordered the 2012 LED headlights because i had the EBAY LED headlights on my car.

Now, the only problem i have is that the LED wouldn't light up, turn signal doesn't work.. only the rear work. what can i do to solve this situation? the headlight is OEM from an original 2012 MY.

Haha lucky score. There's a thread on the forum somewhere that covers how to retrofit the new lights into an older 2IS. Shouldn't be too hard to find if you search.

How do they OEM ones look compared to the previous eBay ones you had on?

Here you go, follows the instruction. Except that the green wire is power and red wire is ground.
