So it's not possible to put 2012 OEM headlights on a pre 2011 model car without modifications like changing also to 2012 bumper , grills , liners , etc. ?

That I dont know, but they do look like OEM lights tho. And it's going to cost a lot if you are getting it done from the dealer.

Yeah it's going to cost a lot but I think my insurance is paying the labor cost. So all i would have to pay extra are for 2012 OEM headlights difference in costs compared to my 2010 OEM headlights , wiring etc. Fingers crossed still .

I will be going to my dealership tomorrow aparently to sign some papers stating that I should not hold them responsible if anything goes wrong after they install the 2012 OEM headlights like catching fire , dashboard electronics not working or anything it seems Don't know if they are trying to scare me , might consider keeping my stock itself as I don't want to void my warranty and have all these headaches.
