Is it possible to update 2011 headlights to Facelift headlights?

Does anyone know if it is possible to update 2011 headlights to facelift headlights? After my niece had little fun with my 2011 C300 I am having to redo the front end, and was offered a 2012 hood and facelift aftermarket headlights as a swap for the old wheels and tires I have. I just want to be sure this will work with no issues before taking the trade. If anyone knows of a DIY wiring guide to do it, I would really appreciate any info. My fenders are fine and Gary at Suvneer helped out with an awesome deal on the new style C63 look front bumper, and I think this would really make the car look better with the new headlights and hood (that is after it is all put back together from where she killed it....). Thank you for any info.

Yes it's possible with a FL hood. There is a thread with a wiring guide too, search the forum.

Are the front fenders really the same over the refresh?

Yes it is a 2012 face lift hood that he wants to trade. I guess he was going to do the conversion, but his wife had other plans. Thanks for the help, I am searching for the wiring guide now.
