Ok, while we on this topic. Let me ask a question. Hope the OP does not mind...

I got a set of LCI headlights with projectors. As far i know its straight fit to the pre-lci. What about the electronics? Anything i need to change?

Also, i have H7 HID kit in my pre-lci. Are the LCI also H7?

Both are H7, if you are going from halogen pre-lci to halogen lci its plug & play, when you say projectors do you mean custom or xenon LCI?
If it is xenon LCI it's quite complex I believe.
Ask Vsomai to be 100% sure.

You are 100% correct. I received the LCI Xenon (OEM) headlights yesterday and looked at the plugs, they are different. Lots more wires... So i sent it back and waiting for the LCI Halogen headlights. They are straight plug and play as you say.

AFAIK to change you need the following:

Front end:
New bonnet
New kidney grills
New front bumper
New front lights
You may also need to replace the front fender liners that attach to the bumper

Rear End
New boot lid
New lights (car needs to be recoded for these)

Feel free to correct me/add to the list if I've missed out anything.

front bumper grill pieces
Seal for engine bonnet, front
fog lights
bonet lining
new wing mirror with supporting ring, baseplate and cover
miscellaneous mounting rivets, nuts and washers

For the front its up to you when it comes to Headlights lights as your pre lci still fit with new lci front.
When I change my pre lci to lci I never change the fender liners it just fits 100% with my pre fender liners.
I can help in coding the car

yup i did a lci halogen to xenon conversion oem, did the mod in the h/l to avoid dealership moaning, you hafta just add another ground wire for the xenon shutter to work and bridge power to get corner leds to work, got the coding done and added the Xenon VO, never had a problem yet, although some models like th pre-lci footwell module mite have to be changed to send 35W for the angels, but anyway can be done as NavS said, check on gumtree for the parts
