LED Headlight Retrofit?

I'm sure this has come up before. I have a 2015 MCS with the standard headlights. I can get a pair of LED headlights (that's what we call the the ones with the light ring around them right?) from a 2018 MCS for $300. What all needs to be done to retrofit them and what parts do I need? or is this not really feasible?

From other posts I’ve read (wanted to do this myself), the LED lights have different wiring/connectors and won’t be plug-n-play. You’ll need to do some electrical splicing and I believe some coding. Each car’s wiring looms are specific to the options ordered, and retrofits of most optional equipment is expensive or not possible.

Search the forum, there’s more than a few posts about this.
