Sorry you can’t, the displays between these series use different signaling. While both are similar in its connections the 2013 uses iDP while the 2015 uses eDP signaling.

I did the same thing. Is that why the screen is so dark. (I have to use the flashlight to see the screen) everything else works fine.
