Default 2011 Lexus ISF with 2013 ISF headlights.. LED strip not working?

Hey guys, I had the newer headlights (with the eyelashes or whatever on the top of the housing) put onto my 2011. My understanding was that because my car came with the LED strip that it would be a plug and play, but now the LED strip isn't working. What do you think is the reason for this? HELP!

Side note, these were on my 2010 that I bought that was hit and killed in May. This means that the headlights were wired in order to work on a pre-2011 car. I have no idea what to change with wiring. Can anyone please help me? I'm in MD if there are any local people that you know of or if it's something fairly simple can someone explain to me how to change them back to the way they were originally?

Thanks

They need to be pinned back to the 2011+ configuration. Someone repinned for pre2011 cars. Check the eBay 2011 headlight thread there is a wealth of knowledge and diagrams toward the end.

Hello, I have a 2011 and looking to upgrade, are the headlights from 2012-14 the same? I'm seeing different part number for each year. Are the the 2012-14 all plug and play? Thanks for your time.

Theyre slightly different but they are definitely plug and play. The LED strip is brighter and there are “eye lashes” above the projector. The LED strip is noticeably brighter.
