PRE LCI to LCI eyebrow and lense swap

I currently have PRE LCI adaptive headlights and LCI non adaptive headlights. I really like the eyebrow setup in the LCI headlight and I was wondering if it's possible to swap the LCI eyebrow and lense over to the PRE LCI adaptive headlights. I don't want to bake open the headlights unless it'll work. If not atleast I can sell the virgin LCI headlights for someone else to customize.

....lci lenses cost $150-250 for some reason though. Alas.

Replied in other thread i think? Ebay search "e90 xenon lens", its the $39 one


PS as an lci owner cant be 100%, but i dont think any of the lenses are supposed to have any sort of holes....its a sealed assembly after all

The screw holes are inside the lense. It's what the angel eyes attach to. From the pics I do t see the screw holes. I sent a messege asking for better pics. But they said they don't have any. So I'm going to just buy it. Hopefully it'll work.

The $39 ones on ebay will NOT fit pre-lci Xenons.
