Ok Guys,

Here's the difference:

2003-05
1.) Have the CLEARANCE STRIP, which is very cool, but doesn't really do anything.
2.) Have AMBER parking lights, which also are used for the turn signal
3.) Have Xenon highs
4.) Normal Fogs


2006
1.) Have NO clearance stip, it's just shiny chrome design, NO LIGHT at all
2.) Have DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS--> They are tiny bulbs that are pointing horizontally inside the FOG HOUSING. It illumantes the Fog, but is not as bright as the actual fog, thus acting as "daytime runners".
3.) Have Cleared out amber turn signals. They act as turn signals only, no amber parking lights anymore.
4.) Have BI-XENON Headlights
5.) Have XENON fogs as well....I might be wrong about this one...?


^ I believe this is correct, but anyone else that knows better feel free to make a correction. I think I have "Halogen", "Xenon" and "Dual Xenon" all mixed up,,,maybe someone will take my quote and correct. Atleast we have images now to compare!

No xenon fogs, just Low and Hi-Beam are Xenon (Bi-Xenon HID). Fogs are standalone, halogen.

$625? Is that with bulb already? I know that Chad a.k.a. Infinitispecialist can sell it cheaper but labor to install is another story.

Actually Chad sells his for $702 now without bulbs, housing only.

they were $585 if i'm not mistaken BUT since i live in Cali, i had to pay taxes... came around $625 picked-up.. and that's housings alone, bulbs you buy seperate but you'll save quite a bit depending on the bulbs you get

Installation is not that difficult quite easy, and trust me, I'm not much of a DIY type of guy and I found it easy

Did you try it yet? Do they work? Any issues with the plugs being different? I have seen the wiring for both and they are slightly different. Do they function the same? I'm having mine changed out for the cracking issue and I want to install the 06 lights on my 03. Should I do it? Thanks

I haven't tried mine yet. I might surprise some by saying this, but I probably won't install mine for another few months NOW...maybe by fall.

A lot's going on right now with the my job going nuts on me...maybe not that long (fall) but at least a couple months...

If anyone else does it before me, let's hear about your experience!
