Headlights...04 to 06 coupe swap?
Hey guys,
Purchased a pair of 06 headlights. I have the 04 coupe headlights with xenon. Went to a local specialist and told him that it should be plug in play along with swapping the ballast from my old 04 headlights. The guy checked it out and said its way to difficult for him to do. He said the headlights are wired way up further than he expected and he didn't want to take the risk with them being HIDs and getting electrocuted. I thought this was suppose to be an easy task. He's saying he has to take off the bumper and do all this stuff to it. Is it really that hard to do? I was trying to find a DIY on it, but I couldn't find anything. Is there really much more to it than just plug and play? What all else do you have to do in order to do the swap?
Thanks for your help,
Tony

The swap is easy. there are plenty of DIYs on the forums. just search. You don't have to take the entire bumper off, but you have to drop it a little bit. I did the swap myself in a couple hours. The guy you talked to is stupid. Disconnect the battery and you won't get shocked. The ballast swap is simple. The lights are only held in by i think 5 bolts.. just do it yourself.

Yeah I dont think you can put coupe headlights on a sedan and vice versa.

Not to mention it would make the sedans look outstanding. Those few sedans who have done the coupe front conversion.. Wow. They look great.
