Help with Fitting Headlights

Can someone please help me with a headlight situation I am new to e90 post and I am wondering if anyone knows if 2008 e90 335i LED headlights like the whole housing will plug and go in my 2009 e90 335i with factory HID or do I need to do something else to make it work or fit properly

Not sure what you mean by LED headlights. Do you mean halogen?

To me those look like pre LCI headlights and you will need LCI headlights. In any case, even if the are the correct fit size-wise for your car, they would require coding to remove the adaptive headlights/HID options since the ones pictured are halogen. It may also require ballast to not throw codes and some rewiring.

Aftermarket headlights are a finicky option unless you are replacing basic halogen housings.
