LCI Headlight Retro

Hi guys,

So in the process of selling some bits and bobs around the house and will be using the money to buy some LCI halogens in abut a week or two. Will be asking if people have those for sale in due course!

So, after googling a bit, I understand the process of swapping to be pretty simple?

*Take off bumper.
*Unplug and remove old headlights.
*Install new headlights and plug in.
*Replace bumper.
*Get headlights aligned.

Questions:

1. Is it really this simple? Am I missing anything?

2. Do the angel eyes on the LCI lights fade in and out as per the old sidelights on my pre-LCI? Reason I ask, I had an LCI courtesy car and the angels just 'came on' when unlocking, rather than fading on as the sidelights do on my car.

3. Is there any way of having the angel eyes on all the time, much like DRLs? I would want to be able to do this while leaving the headlight switch on auto. I'd imagine this would be something that might be codeable?

4. Has anyone found if there's a way of upgrading the LCI angel eye bulbs? Are they H7s? If so, I assume I could just put some Philips Extreme Vision in?

5. Anyone got any for sale in a couple of weeks?!
