Has the 2013 E88 got the same headlight brackets/etc as the 2007-2011 models?

I recently got a 2013 E88 118i convertible, and i really want to upgrade the lights to an LED pair, it currently has the halogen lights, but most of the headlights i’m seeing online state 2007-2011, some companies I have emailed and they’ve told me it won’t fit! but others have said it will!! but there really is no option for ones for 2011-2013!! the light looks exactly the same, i’m aware the taillights changed and they added the iDrive. But if anyone has had the same problem or has worked on both i’d appreciate the knowledge !!

A good starting point would be to cross reference the p/n's on realoem

I am 99.5% sure they are the same.
My parents have a 2008 and I have a 2012, both halogen units.
When I get back home (2 weeks) I can confirm.
But I am pretty darn sure they are the same.
