Why not upgrade to 06 projectors? And post this thread in the Marketplace under WTB and under Exterior and you should get some responses.

The reason why I want the 04-05 headlight because they got the "City-Parking" lights stripe on the side of the headlamp and it will be cool to mod it. Thank you for letting me know about the market place.

Oh sorry bro, I didn't know you only had 2 posts. I think you need 25 or 50 to post in the marketplace.

On the headlights, you would be better off (keeping?) or buying 06 projectors. The strip is still there, just no lights, but that can be solved easily with some LED's and a drill.

If you decide you still want 03-05 lights instead of modding 06's, then PM me and ill post up a thread in the marketplace for you. Also be aware that for some reason 03-05 lights haze up a lot more than the 06+ lights.

That's ok, I just figured that out lol. See the problems is I don't know how to open the headlight to get to the housing. Especially I just dont' have the tools and it just be easier to replace the Stock dull halogen bulb with the LED bulb. The housing in my headlight is chrome and I don't like it much. Because the 04-05 housing kinda darker than the 03 and my car is black. The headlight cover of my car is condensated too so that's why I'm looking to buy a new one.

Condensation can be removed with a buffer and some PlasticX. And that's what I meant by hazing, condensation turning the light cover real hazy lol.

If I were you I would just paint the headlight if you don't like the chrome, because when you downgrade to the other headlights, they no longer have the projectors, which means the road is gonna be A LOT less illuminated for you, a lot duller light. But if you really want the city lights...

You can get 03-05 lights easy, many people will actually trade you and give you money for projectors. If you want to sell them when u have the other lights, you can make about 350 off of them.

^ yes it will look ok on your black. Get the projector ones, you won't go wrong with them. You can mod the 2 side clearance lights.

Well I was going off of my HID lights vs. my Dad's Range Rover projectors. They are a lot brighter, but in a subtle way.
