Apologies if I got the model naming incorrect, as most of you are US or Canada based, I know they are different to ours !
Basically I have a GT Line (UK base model), which is different to US base models in a few ways, but still has the Halogen headlights.
Having been used to LED or HIDs on my last few cars, I miss that lighting level at night.
So I wondered how feasible/ what would be involved, in swapping out the entire headlight units for the LED ones, and if anyone one has attempted this ?
 
I know they are quite expensive... Other than that not sure

Do you mind posing a photo of the main headlight harness? It should be the large multi pin connector that goes into the back of the headlight. If the harness is totally different, you can assume it's not possible. If the harness is the same, which I doubt there's a slim chance of them being plug and play.
 
I cant post pics yet, being a new member, but I am sure the plugs are different as I have seen mention of that.
In itself, that can be worked around, but I don't know if the ECU might be programmed differently for all the self levelling etc on the LED's.
I found a seller on US ebay listing them (but won't be the right lights for a RHD Country) he does say:

* It's not 1:1 replacement
* Halogen type is 11pin
* LED head lamp is 14pin
Need wiring job for new LED head lamp
