Default anyone with '11+ headlights on pre '11 front bumpers?

i thought i wouldn't miss them when i traded in my '11 250 for a '09 350, but now i realize i do miss them. i'm waiting on Sewell's summer promotion code, but have a concern on how they'll look on a pre '11 bumper? do they look like aftermarket add-ons on them compare to the oem look with the '11+ bumpers?

They look fine on 06-10 bumpers. As a matter of fact I like them better on the older bumpers (just a personal preference).

i personally think they look better with the '11+ bumpers. the angular flare on the edge of the newer bumpers just incorporate the LEDs much better, imo.

On a side note, I just installed the Sewell 2011 loaded retro headlights today. The driver side LED does not work. Everything else works great. any thoughts. thanks

This is weird, I have a gap under my headlights. They told me it was because my 08 bumper was not made for the 2011 headlights.
