Replacing pre-LCI US G30 ICON lights with EU spec

I got the anti-dazzle high beams on my G30 enabled, but was disappointed in its performance. From what I’ve found, there is hardware or something missing from North American models making it unable to create a defined light tunnel, instead it makes (not super bright) spot lights to the left and right of vehicles. It does provide less glare to oncoming traffic than a full high beam, but I did get a fair amount of people turning on their high beams at me.

My question is, if I found a set of left-hand drive ICON housings from Europe, and put them on my car, would it work right out the box? Is there any additional hardware or coding issues that I might run into?
