Spec-D for r55?

Not sure if this is the right place but, here we go.
I was looking around at headlights to see what's out there and came across the Spec-D ones with the led "eyebrow" drl. Problem is, I can't find a consistent answer on if they'd fit or not. Some say its only the r56, others say it'll fit fine.

Anyone know by chance? I can't imagine the headlight mounting/wiring is that different between the two, assuming same year and halogen only.

Spec D unit will fit and work fine except one thing, high beams. Lots of reports that the Spec D lights dont allow you to use high beam function. Also do you have Halogen or Xenon headlights?
