I think the only difference is the ring now illuminated by white LED. You only need $120 USD to buy a LED bulb for this conversion. So no need to get a new set of headlight!

First time I've heard someone from Dubai saying they don't have enough money for something...
I'd go with an AERO kit if you want to improve the look.

racer1983: Save your money on the headlights; spend them towards the fenders and front bumper. As for the angel eyes, just get LUX or mTEC V2 from mTEC Lighting USA. Can't go wrong with either.

You cannot just remove your old headlights and replace with the LCI headlights, from what I understand you will need to replace your FRM2 with a FRM3 module and have that coded. There is also one additional wire in the harness to the headlights that used for dimming the LEDs.
PM Sky Chicken, I think he attempted the retrofit.

Midway through the 2011 MY, they brought in the LED corona rings. I think there were a lot of pissed of early 2011 MY owners
