i would worry more about the harnesses and such behind, especially when it has led now. if not wired correct and if current is different led might not work or might flicker. and you don't want to connect resistors

I'm really wondering the same question myself. I would definitely change it if my 2010 grille, bumper, and the hood will accommodate the new headlight housing.

My guess is that the computer may throw codes and not want to work with the new lights.

By the way does anyone know if the MID on the instrument column notifies the driver if a bulb is burnt out?

Thanks for the insightful information.

I'm guessing it needs the 2013 bumper too?

you need the bumper, grills, headlights & other small clips to make it work.

the harness has to be different in the back. for the leds, you need a "led" driver.

also the 13 has the AFS headlights which will not work with 08-11 Lxs. so bottom line, you could likely fit it in, but the LEDS you would have to play around with. the AFS feature dont know
how you would modify that.

The housing will fit, but the mounting flange is a bit off and the harness is wired differently.
