Tough Question

Seems to be a lot of positive feedback on the 06 projectors, but negative feedback on the new redesigned taillights.

So, do you think the benefits of the projector headlights outweigh the less appeal of the taillights?

I would think so.

Exactly. I like the technology of the new headlights... ...but I absolutely hate the redesigned housing. Too much bling for me. The chrome insert under the previous models' are even too much for me.

For me, I'd want to see a first-hand, side-by-side performance difference between the projectors and the lights on the 05 before I made that decision.

The 'cool factor' is nice, but the 'works better factor' gets my dollars.

True, pictures never do justice. Hopefully, 06's will hurry up and arrive!

I've never been into blingin' out my headlights with brighter or different color bulbs, so you can imagine how pleased I was to turn my lights on only to find how bright and white they are. Plenty good for me. A change in the housing color would have been more welcomed from me.

Well... as we all know, it won't be long soon after the 06 is out that an aftermarket co will have a projector headlight for sale that will fit our 05.

We just have to wait....................

'05 front with '06 rear. No spoiler! If I had to choose only one of the options you gave on the poll it would have to be '05 front and rear. The '06 front bumper kills me.

Until I see the '06 in person, it's a tough call. I like what I've seen via the pics. I trust that the real deal will be nice. However, I love my '05.
