LCI vs non-LCI halogen headlights??

So I've been looking around for answers and can't find anything definitive. I found an aftermarket headlight assembly that I really like for an 09-12 X1 with halogen headlights and I'm wondering if it will fit my 2014 X1. The seller says it's only for 09-12, but is there any reason it wouldn't be compatible with a 2014 model? What's the difference between LCI and non-LCI halogen headlights?

The only difference I was able to find were for the xenon lamps where the LCI version has that strip of light on the eyebrow.

Here's the link to the headlights on eBay:

Those are the depo headlights I installed them in my 2015 they will work with no errors, you just need to code the DRL to the parking light easy to do with bimmercode.

I have a 2011 X1 halogen and want to install LCI scoop headlights with rings (original part not aftermarket)
Is it directly compatible with my old X1?
If not is what mods i have to do?

The OP in this thread replaces the halogen bulbs with Xenon bulbs and ballasts. I don't really want to go that route and I imagine that that is optional. Are the depo lights designed to work with the Halogen bulbs or is the switch to Xenon necessary?

everything I've read suggests that trying to upgrade to the OE Xenons is a nightmare
