Yes, you were sent an LCI front end which is not what was shown in the listing. This is what I would do, but it's just me lol-
Remember-
Your car is preLCI and you have the fogs, covers, for preLCI.
Converting to LCI will cost you more.
LCI fogs cost 2-3x more than preLCI(you will only find used, new isn't worth paying for).
LCI fogs require coding to work. They will hyperflash and you will have a dash warning.
Yes, I tried to do this conversion in the past and that's what happens.
It's up to you but you're basically going out of your way to source the additional parts bc of the seller's mistake if you decide to convert to LCI bc that's the bumper in your possession now. But it comes down to 2 options for you.
1.) Open a dispute, send the images, provide evidence that it's not what you paid for. Seller will most likely offer you 50% off to keep it so they wont need to pay for shipping costs to ship it back to them. You can use that 50% to get the rest of the LCI parts. If not, I would offer to close the case if they agree to send me all the LCI parts so it would complete my front end. Return the fogs you purchased for preLCI, and use that $ to have your car coded for LCI fogs after everything is installed.
2.) Do step 1 of option 1, and they might just refund you completely bc they dont want to deal with going back & forth with the dispute and just take the loss. There's a chance that either the seller or ebay will end up refunding you 100%.
