Default HID to LED headlight swap???

I have a new to me 2014 A6 with HID headlights that move when turning. I don't know the exact terminology to use to describe them. Is it possible to change those headlights out to the all LED ones? I had someone tell me that the wiring harness in the car is different and there is no option to replace the headlights, but I'm not sure if this is true. Thanks in advance for the help.

Anything is possible if you are willing to throw enough money at it. The LED headlight assemblies run around $2500 each as I recall. New wiring is likely required as well as software coding.

Keep in mind that having done a fair amount of research before my recent purchase the consensus seems to be that the LED lights are different but not necessarily better. I ended up with LED on mine, but that was by happenstance.
