well, you'll have a pretty hard time getting those 05 headlight fitting on the 03-04 front end. might as well just get an HID kit to fit the housings you have or get an OEM HID setup from an 03-04

I just put in the 06 coupe lights in my 03 coupe. I got them from Tony @ riverside shipped out. Fitment was easy and the install is cake if you know how to turn a ratchet. Search the forums, PM him for a price quote with shipping to your zip code. Was a good deal, fast shipping, and the results are quite noticeable.

The biggest reason to upgrade the whole light housing (opposed to simply putting in a different HID kit) is that the plastic headlight housings are brand-new again, with no sun-fading, etc... it is so blatantly noticeable. Really makes your car look newer and better maintained. If you are quite adept, you could always save money and wetsand the housings down... but you need time, tools and supplies to do it.

The sedan headlight fitment is different. 05-06 won't fit 03-04. I guess you could try to get some used set OEM HID headlights or an aftermaket HID kit but the cutoff beam doesn't look very good.

As far as I know, the OEM HIDs should directly plug in to the '03-'04 sedans as long as you have the HID headlamp assemblies (not the halogen ones as the design geometry is different for fitment of HID lighting). All '04 sedans have HIDs as standard feature (I believe the '03 base sedan model is the only one with halogen lighting as standard).
