The high beams remain the same ^^

Sorry but you are incorrect...
The harnesses are different for the low beams. I have done the swap already, you basically are going to cut the harnesses from both cars swap and solder them to the cars taking the respective headlights.
IIRC the one difference is the power wire on the H11 harness will be a different color than the current one on your car if you originally have the 9006 harness. Can't remember exactly though.
Hope that helps....and to see ya at the meet!

I can do it. I did the swap and the other car who took my headlights are still working.
You are getting the new headlights?

Thats odd...............
When I got the 08 headlights, I didn't do any splicing, cutting or soldering.
I just got the right size bulb and I called it a day.
I'll need to check out what you did on yours joe.
Cause I certainly didn't do any of that, lol.
Edit: Just figured it out, lmao...... My badddd ^^^^^^^ Its cause I have HIDs, one side of the ballast the connection is the compatible 9006 (to the car headlight harness), and on the other end of the ballast I have an H11 bulb. Thank god no splicing for me

Well that's why you are the "backyard mechanic" lol
