Type S Headlights on Base TL?

Hello. I am going to be swapping my base TL headlights (2008) with headlights from a Type S TL (2008). I was wondering if there would be any fitment problems in either cars?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Yeah we swapping the headlights with everything intact. Although my TL has 25k miles his TL S has 46k miles. Maybe we should swap the ballasts/bulbs since mine are newer .

^what!?

no, keep your ballast and bulbs, retarded.

you'll swap headlights just fine.
what GP was trying to get you to read was that there is a wire harness connection fitment problem.

you'll have to mod YOUR harnesses to fit the type-s wire harness.
stop being retarded, retarded.

LOL. I am confused I thought my turn signal bulbs would not fit type s headlights. Thats why I said its a straight swap. Would the person I am trading with also have to modify his harness/holder to accept my base headlights?
